Castlevania: Belmont's Curse Soundtrack

Konami has published the complete 71-track music list for Castlevania: Belmont's Curse, and it is one of the more unusual things on the official product page: a numbered track listing for a game that has not shipped yet, published before anyone can hear most of it.

The full track list

This is the official list as published, in its original order. Titles are reproduced as Konami writes them, including the mixed capitalisation.

How to read the list

Three things are worth noticing in it.

Bloody Tears is track 14. It is the series' most recognisable piece, it shares its name with the September trailer, and its presence here confirms it is part of the score rather than only trailer music. It is also the one track in the list with no extended arrangement: every other early track gets a companion version, and this one does not.

Roughly half the list is extended arrangements. The first 32 entries are the score, and from track 33 onward the list gives extended versions, plus a handful of additional pieces such as The Sealed Power, The Castle Rises, The Sacrifice, The Passing Of Power, Conquer The Darkness, The Cursed Eternal, Shadowed Victory and Final Dawn. If you are counting "how many songs does the game have", the honest answer is 32 score tracks plus 39 extended and additional pieces, and the official number is simply 71.

The last three entries read like an ending. The Cursed Eternal, Shadowed Victory and Final Dawn arrive after Curse Broken, and then Curse Broken returns in extended form as track 71. Titles are not plot, and this page is not going to build a story theory out of a track order, but the shape of the ending is legible.

Where you can hear it

The music ships inside the Digital Sound & Art Gallery, which is included with the Midnight Edition rather than the Standard Edition. The gallery is a separate application from the game and contains an in-app sound player alongside more than a hundred pieces of concept art and sketches.

That means the Standard Edition buyer gets the game's music inside the game and nothing else. There is no announced standalone soundtrack release, no vinyl announcement and no streaming listing that this site could verify.

⚠️ Composer not announced. Konami's product page, the Steam listing and the console storefronts do not name a composer, an arranger or a sound director for Belmont's Curse. Community threads ask the question regularly and there is no official answer yet. This page lists that as an open item rather than guessing from the returning names in past Castlevania credits.

Music and the rest of the game

The score is one of four things Konami has been unusually forthcoming about before release, alongside the seven weapon categories, the six named bosses and the full language table. Where the company has been quiet, this site says so: the Arcana list and the weapon category list are both still unpublished.
