Following on only a handful of announcements, The Game Kitchen and Team17 have officially dropped the release date for their sequel title Blasphemous 2 in a new trailer. The only mention of this game so far was when it was teased a couple of years ago in a free DLC release for Blasphemous and a proper reveal in a premiere a couple of months ago.
Players will soon take on the role of a reawakened Penitent One in an unfamiliar and unforgiving land. Blasphemous 2 follows on from the events of Blasphemous’ 2021 Update Wounds of Eventide, and thrusts players back into the endless cycle of life, death, and resurrection. The Miracle has returned, the birth of a prophetic new miracle child has been foretold, and it once again falls to The Penitent One to explore a strange world, defeat grotesque monstrosities, and give everything to stop the prophecy from coming to pass.
Featuring three unique weapons to acquire and master, and an enhanced skillset to choose from, players will have to use these new tools to survive long enough to deliver judgment to all who stand in their way. As they make their way towards the inevitable final confrontation, they’ll pick up pieces of scattered lore, and unpick long-forgotten secrets of a new and punishing world as they cheat death time and time again.
Blasphemous 2 is set to launch on August 24th for PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch. Are you prepared to take on the role of the Penitent One once more?
