Cult of the Lamb’s first Major Content Update is OUT NOW!
Relics of the Old Faith is an ENORMOUS free update to Cult of the Lamb. We’ve listened to many of your requests and have been working since launch to add everything we possibly could. There’s so much that it can’t fit into one News post, but we’re going to try…
New Post-Game Storyline
After defeating the final boss, a mysterious otherworldly being gives the Lamb a new task.
Revamped Boss Fights and Enemies
In the new Post-Game, every boss has been revamped with new and tougher attack patterns. We know many of you asked for more combat depth and difficulty, so this is just one of the ways we're adding your requests in Relics of the Old Faith.
Post-Game Progression
Crusading against these new challenges will also bring new rewards. The mystic seller will grant the Lamb many useful items that will allow you to mandate previously missed doctrines, grant new Follower abilities with necklaces and unlock new Follower forms!
Relics to Collect and Combat
So what are these Relics of the Old Faith? Relics are an entirely new combat system that we've added for the Lamb to collect and combat. From the Eye of Leshy to Clauneck's Shoe, each of these ideological items will grant a powerful new ability for your crusades.
Chemach
This curious character is the keeper of the Relics of the Old Faith. When you encounter them on your crusades, you’ll learn more about these mysterious items and their place in the world.
Heavy Attacks
Each of the 5 weapon types now features a Heavy Attack. Throw your Axe like a boomerang, spawn a ranged assault of Daggers, or spin in a Gauntlet tornado to match whatever situation you find yourself in. Heavy attacks can be upgraded to an even stronger form.
It’s a (New) Trap!
The Lamb can’t be the only one with new ways to fight. Shielded enemies, moving rivers and swinging axes are a few of the new tricks in the heretics’ arsenal.
Purgatory and Challenge Runs
In Purgatory, there are new crusading challenges like the Boss Rush and the Dungeon Gauntlet. With 5 new Fleeces and an added Permadeath mode, you can customize your very own combat experience. And yes, you can tackle the final boss fight on the same save file!
Surprises and Secrets
During your crusades, you may encounter familiar friends and foes. What is Midas doing in Darkwood? Who’s causing beef between the Lighthouse Keeper and the Mushroomos?
New Buildings for Better Cults
Hollup, let them cook! We’ve added 5 new structures to help manage your Cult. Followers can cook in the Kitchen, have sleepovers in Shared Shelters, and organize their farms. The Crypt and the Morgue will also let you deal with pesky dying Followers more efficiently!
Special Boss Followers
The new Post-Game story will allow you to convert the 4 bishops as Followers! Maybe you’ll figure out how to get a few cute kitties to join you, too. This is along with 11 new Follower forms and 7 that were previously exclusive outside of the game.
Photo Mode
Photo Mode will give you a whole new point of view! Change the angle, zoom in, and decorate with 88 different stickers to make your own memories in your Cult and during crusades.
Playing Your Way with Accessibility
You can now pause time at your Cult while you are crusading on a dungeon run! If you want to focus on the combat while your Followers stay healthy, this is the option for you. We’ve also added several new text options like dyslexic fonts in English, changing roman numerals to numbers and toggling high contrast text, text styling and the Build Mode filter.
New Achievements and Collections
For the completionists, we’ve introduced more achievements, tarot cards, quests, sermon upgrades and so much more!
I think you can see that this update is truly enormous. We never expected that so many people would play our game and we’ve put as much as we possibly could into Relics of the Old Faith.
We want to make Cult of the Lamb the best game it can be and that’s why this Major Content Update is entirely free.
If you’d like to continue supporting us, we’ve released the Heretic Pack which is purely cosmetic DLC. We're also going to put the game on its biggest sale yet, so it’s the perfect time to join the Cult!
You’ve shown us so much devotion so far and we are so happy that we can all enjoy this huge release together.
This is for all of you,
Thank you

Major Update Coming Soon
Cult of the Lamb will be matching our biggest sale this weekend, with a whopping 25% off! If you’ve been sitting on the fence, now is the perfect time to pick up and play because we’re working on a FREE Major Content Update, Relics of the Old Faith. This update will have new challenges, new combat abilities, and new ways to manage your Cult!
With the power of the Lamb on the rise and the Followers flocking, Cult management isn’t as easy as it once was… until now! RELICS OF THE OLD FAITH will introduce new buildings to keep your Cult efficient, aesthetic, and growing, growing, growing.
Kitchen
You’ve been a single Lamb, slaving away to feed your Followers for long enough - build a Kitchen in your Cult, and assign a Cook to keep those hungry mouths fed! Queue up to 30 meals and let them cook.
Shared Shelter
Praise our great Lamblord for solving our housing crisis! In a Shared Shelter, three Followers can share one roof that will never collapse.
Crypt
Lay multiple Followers to rest in their final and eternal sleepover with the introduction of the Crypt! A way to keep graveyards small, and avoid those nasty rotting corpses while each upgrade stores more bodies.
Organised Farming
Love a well-tended garden? Farm Plot Signs let your farming Followers organise your crops! Choose a certain crop for the sign and the Follower will plant those seeds around it.
Your Feedback Helps!
We’re working on these new structures based on your feedback. However, they are only a small part of Relics of the Old Faith. An update that will primarily focus on adding more combat depth and endgame replayability!
Here at Massive Monster, we’re committed to making Cult of the Lamb the best game it can be, with Relics of the Old Faith releasing soon, and a second Major Content Update coming later this year. Thank you for keeping the Faith high, the Devotion flowing, and the Lamb crusading through the evolving world of The Lands of the Old Faith…
Praise be! Cult of the Lamb has been Verified on Steam Deck! With so many mouths to feed, Followers to punish, and poop to clean, Steam Deck is a great platform to build a Cult. While we've only just been blessed with the green checkmark, we know many of you have already enjoyed our game on Deck. Here's to more favor and fortune here on Steam, in the name of the Lamb!
The moth has been granted a sacred name.
Meet Monch, our beloved moth! You may encounter him during your Crusades, where he can increase the Loyalty of one of your Followers. To be completely honest, we didn't have a name for this character while making the game... A Redditor suggested "Monch" which caught on in the community and now it's official! We love hearing your feedback and suggestions. We want to make improvements that you're looking for.
You can join our Cult on Reddit and Discord to hear more from us, leave feedback, bug reports, ask questions, or just chat about the game.
New merch has revealed itself on the Devolver Digital shop!
Our latest Cult of the Lamb merch has arrived! Shop our three new t-shirts with fluffy, creepy, and cute designs. Stay cozy with our Red Crown hoodie while playing the game.
