The Penitent One returns for the highly anticipated sequel to The Game Kitchen’s 2019 multi-award-winning action platformer.
Team17 Digital and The Game Kitchen have premiered the very first look of Blasphemous 2! Coming to Steam later this year, Blasphemous 2 follows The Penitent One as he awakens in an unfamiliar land, displaced from his final resting place, and thrust back into the endless cycle of life, death, and resurrection.
Penance begins anew in this first look at Blasphemous 2:
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 utilise 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 unravelling long forgotten secrets.
Blasphemous 2 Key Features
Discover a rich non-linear world: A series of enchantingly grotesque landscapes await, oozing gothic charm and littered with unforgiving traps; there is no wrong turn to take, only scores to settle
Unleash savage combat: Brutal executions and expanded combos provide new and devastating ways to rain destruction on the abominations that await
Play your way: Blasphemous 2 provides the ability to customise and improve the Penitent Ones’ base skillset, and introduces new unique weapons that expand player tactics
Overcome intense Boss Battles: Twisted bosses with unique attack patterns and sundering abilities await in the darkest corners of this twisted new land

Should you want some hints on how to begin the events of Wounds of Eventide mouse over the spoilers here: Find the tomb of Perpetva in Echoes of Salt BEFORE fighting Esdras. Do note that late game saves may not be able to see all the Wounds of Eventide content, but you will get clues on what to do when you replay the game.
Wounds of Eventide concludes a series of three post-launch updates released for Blasphemous since it launched in 2019, beginning with ‘Stir of Dawn’ which launched in 2020 and introduced the ‘New Torment’ mode, a New Game+ addition that challenged players with a new level of difficulty, plus new playstyles, new bosses, and much more.
The second update, ‘Strife and Ruin’ launched last February and introduced Miriam from Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night into the world of Cvstodia as she sought help from The Penitent One. Strife and Ruin also added a new game mode and a ‘Demake Area’ that plays homage to classic 8-bit platformers.
Blasphemous and the free Wounds of Eventide update are available now on Steam!

The People Behind The Trailer
When making a trailer such as the one above, many people from various disciplines come together to create something special. We've taken a moment to share a short behind the scenes video on the creation of the trailer that we hope you'll enjoy:
[previewyoutube="1yMKqwxUV_E;full"]
With this trailer it was important to us to stay true to the game’s roots, so we included a live orchestral track recorded by a selection of traditional and authentic procession musicians, with some of the orchestra having performed during the Holy Week in Seville, Spain.
We were also humbled to work with the incredible Sunshine Animation Studio who created the amazing visuals you see for the trailer.
We want to extend our thanks to everyone involved in the process, thank you for bringing our vision to life so vividly.
One More Thank You
The team would also like to say another, very special thank you to you, our amazing community.
You have made Blasphemous what it is, your time in-game, your words, stories, fan creations, passion and feedback have led us to this point.
Thank you Blasphemous Community!
Penance Never Ends.
