DLC of some kind forBlasphemous 2was a long time coming since the original game featured its own and The Game Kitchen and Team17 finally revealed it after subtly teasing it a little bit ago. The Mea Culpa sword’s effigy-strewn hilt was made brazenly apparent in the sequel’s upcoming content tease, but the reveal of the weapon’s reprisal inBlasphemous 2’s DLC is both startling and practical. Indeed, the big allure ofBlasphemous 2’s upcoming DLC, titled Mea Culpa, is that players will once more be able to wield the original game’s sword; however, there is far more to this expansion and accompanying True Torment update.
Everything Revealed About Blasphemous 2’s Mea Culpa Expansion
Blasphemous 2’s Mea Culpa DLCincludes:
Blasphemous 2knows where it excels and this DLC seems to be tugging at all the necessary threads it needs to for a substantive expansion. Interestingly, the Mea Culpa DLC only featuring two new bosses might suggest its length is rather short, thoughBlasphemous’ Stir of Dawn, Strife and Ruin, and Wounds of Eventide DLCsare all relatively quaint, too, capping at around three or four hours—give or take an hour or two depending on players’ skill level and each DLC’s respective difficulty.
There’s nothing to concretely claim thatBlasphemous 2will have a similar roadmap of subsequent DLCs and updates in the future but, given the truncated nature of the Mea Culpa expansion, it is on the table nonetheless. Plus,Blasphemous 2’s DLC and update FAQ on Steamadmits the DLC and update content “expand the explorable area ofBlasphemous 2by 40%” and may take “2–3 hours” for the story alone with “6–8 hours” for full exploration.
It’ll be interesting to see how the Mea Culpa now directly compares toBlasphemous 2’s Veredicto, Sarmiento & Centella, and Ruego Al Alba, such as if players still prefer the humble simplicity of the basic yet nostalgic sword compared to the sequel’s armament offerings, when the DLC launches on Halloween.
Everything Revealed About Blasphemous 2’s True Torment Update
At the same time, a sizeable patch will be released asBlasphemous 2’s True Torment updatethat includes:
The New Game Plus option is a sight for sore eyes as players can now replay the sequel with a plethora of additions and upgrades. Otherwise, granular details are being kept tight-lipped for now.
Thankfully, players will be able to access the Mea Culpa DLC without having to first embark on a New Game Plus journey, and while Mea Culpa is a paid expansion the True Torment update is free, meaning players will still be receiving a huge chunk of content on October 31 regardless. If the expansion is as challenging asBlasphemous’ DLCs and other Soulslike-related endeavors of late, though, a refresher on the 2D side-scrolling Metroidvania may be on the menu for anyone who needs their muscle memory returned to them before they dive back intoCvstodia’s gripping dark fantasy world.
