The dark fantasy action-platformer Blasphemous is getting a story-concluding update later this year, leading to a full sequel slated for sometime in 2023.
The Game Kitchen announced at Gamescom that it will release Wounds of Eventide later this year in December. This free DLC will unlock the true ending for Blasphemous, originally released in 2019.
But with the first Blasphemous set to conclude, the developers have begun work on a sequel. This direct follow-up to Blasphemous will carry the series when it is released sometime in 2023. You can check out the DLC trailer and sequel teaser below.
“We’re so excited to finally announce that we’ve started on a Blasphemous sequel, the community have shown so much love for the first game and we can’t wait to share more when we can!” says Game Kitchen in a statement.
But if the wait is long, fans can at least enjoy the upcoming Wounds of Eventide DLC which is described as the final installment and definitive end to the first Blasphemous.
Blasphemous is a 2D side-scroller that mixes intense action with light Metroidvania elements. IGN’s Blasphemous review praised the base combat mechanics and gorgeous world-design and pixel art but was sometimes bogged down by its ambition.
