The 2023 Switch release Blasphemous 2 has received a surprise update this week in the form of a new and “free expansion”.
It’s officially titled ‘Blasphemous II: The Third Sin‘ and challenges and takes place within a “huge and foreboding gothic castle that’s a quarter of the size of the entire Blasphemous II and Mea Culpa world maps combined”.
Here’s some additional PR, and you can check out the trailer above:
“Blasphemous II: The Third Sin challenges players to explore and overcome a part of Cvstodia that once served as a refuge for the nobles, until The Miracle wrought devastation within the castle walls. Set across the fortress’s meandering halls, twisting towers, cavernous library, and dank crypt, the expansion also features a gallery allowing players to replay previous bosses, and introduces a new gameplay experience in the form of three Familiars – magical entities that accompany The Penitent One, supporting them in both combat and exploration.
“Added to the player’s armoury is a new weapon, a blade-tipped whip, enhancing The Penitent One’s move set with a series of standard and special attacks to vanquish foes into dust. Blasphemous II: The Third Sin also includes new prayers, unlockable outfits, *five new achievements/trophies, and an additional six music tracks by series composer Carlos Viola to further immerse players into the castle’s uneasy ambience.”
