Blasphemous 2 Takes Notes from 'Dark Souls' and 'Castlevania'

— April 20, 2023 — Unique
Blasphemous 2 is an upcoming action platformer game that is the sequel to the critically acclaimed Blasphemous. The game is developed by The Game Kitchen and published by Team17, and is set to launch in late summer 2023 for PC and consoles.

The game continues the story of The Penitent One, a lone warrior who must face the horrors of The Miracle, a twisted force that shapes the world according to the sins of its inhabitants. The game features a non-linear world filled with secrets, traps, and enemies, as well as a brutal combat system that allows the player to customize their skills and weapons.

Blasphemous 2 promises to offer more content, more customization, and more challenge than the original game, as well as new locations, new enemies, and new bosses. The game also features a stunning pixel art style that creates a dark and atmospheric world inspired by Spanish folklore and religious imagery.
