Set in a strange new land, Blasphemous 2 sees the Penitent One return to an endless cycle of life, death, and resurrection. There are secrets to uncover, grotesque monsters to battle, and powerful bosses standing in your way as you explore more of the world around you. While the odds are always against you, there are more chances in Blasphemous 2 to customize and improve your skill set, along with several new unique weapons to wield against the heretics that stand in the way of you delivering final judgment.

The first game looked like a Genesis-era take on Dark Souls and Castlevania mixed with a Spanish Inquisition art direction, and for the sequel, developer The Game Kitchen has doubled down on this dark design.
