Fans of the hardcore, Metroidvania-style game Blasphemous may have already been anticipating the announcement for Blasphemous 2 since it was teased a couple of years ago in a free DLC release. Recently, The Game Kitchen and Team17 released a proper announcement trailer confirming the game, platforms, and release window.

Set after the events of the original Blasphemous’ 2021 update Wounds of Eventide, Blasphemous 2 sees the return of the supernatural entity The Miracle, leaving The Penitent One no choice but to explore a strange unfamiliar world, defeat the monstrosities that lay in wait, and try to stop the prophetic birth of a new miracle child from coming to pass. Featuring grotesque enemies and titanic bosses clambering to return him to the grave, The Penitent One will need to utilize and master new weapons and an enhanced skillset and try to survive long enough to deliver judgment to those who stand in his way, while unraveling long-forgotten secrets.

Blasphemous 2 is planned to launch in the Summer of 2023 on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch.
