Just over a month after teasing the heck out of something new coming this fall, Blasphemous 2 developer The Game Kitchen announced that its lovely 2023 Metroidvania is getting a free update and a big paid DLC on all platforms on October 31.
The free update is called True Torment, and the "premium" DLC is fittingly titled Mea Culpa. A new animated scene heralds the arrival of Mea Culpa, which leads with two "massive" new zones starring fresh bosses that represent "some of the greatest challenges" in the game.
These mysterious areas, described in a press release as featuring "harsh winds" and "towering heights," will serve up new quests, NPCs, and ultimately tie into a new alternative ending for the whole game.
The DLC appears to be named after a new weapon, with the DLC offering "ways to grow the power of the Mea Culpa" and teasing "a new (yet familiar) weapon and ability." I'm hoping we're talking about the greatsword briefly shown in the trailer above.
The nature of these upgrades remains unclear, but we're also due for more prayers, equippable rosary beads, and wooden figures, so the RPG side of the game is definitely expanding.
