Publisher Team 17 and developer The Game Kitchen will be releasing its search action game Blasphemous 2 in a few months.

Blasphemous 2 will be out for PC, Xbox Series, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch on 24th August.

“Joining a reawakened Penitent One in an unfamiliar and unforgiving land, Blasphemous 2 follows on from the events of Blasphemous’ 2021 Update Wounds of Eventide, and thrusts players back into the endless cycle of life, death, and resurrection.”

Check out the game’s new release trailer and features list below. Basically if you want more well-animated 2D Dark Souls-slash-Metroidvania type gameplay, you’ve come to the right place.

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.
