Castlevania: Belmont's Curse exists because Konami loved Evil Empire's Dead Cells crossover pitch, even though the devs thought the DLC was "too big" and the publisher would "never say yes"

Castlevania: Belmont's Curse came about because Konami accepted a pitch from indie studio Evil Empire for Dead Cells DLC, despite the developers initially believing the project was too ambitious. Evil Empire, a spin-off of Dead Cells developer Motion Twin, was surprised by Konami's approval for the Castlevania-themed content.
