Blasphemous II In Action For The First Time [VIDEO]

The Game Kitchen’s game has already been given a release window, which might not be pushed back, as we’ve seen with many other games.

 

In December, publisher Team17 announced that a sequel to Blasphemous was in the works, so fans of the side-scrolling action-platformer genre could be in for a second installment soon, and it’s interesting to note that one of the target platforms is a step-down performance-wise from the rest. Here’s the overview from the game’s Steam page: “The second scripture in the Blasphemous series portends the return of The Penitent One, with a story that continues from the free “Wounds of Eventide” downloadable content for the original game, where The Heart in the sky heralded the return of The Miracle and foretold the birth of a new miracle child.

Awakened in a strange new land and displaced from his final resting place, The Penitent One is thrust back into the endless cycle of life, death, and resurrection, with no option but to explore this dangerous new world and uncover its long-forgotten secrets. Hordes of grotesque enemies stand in your way, awaiting final judgment by the brutal hand of the Penitent One, with titanic twisted bosses also lurking in the darkness, waiting for their chance to return you to the grave from whence you came. Taking them down won’t be easy, but with Blasphemous II offering more opportunities to customize and improve your skill set, along with several new unique weapons to wield with righteous zeal and unending fury, victory might just be within grasp. Ultimately, only one thing is sure… penance never ends.

Your journey starts anew in a series of enchantingly grotesque landscapes, oozing Gothic charm and littered with unforgiving traps. How you tackle the labyrinthian world remains at your discretion, there is no wrong turn to be made, only scores to settle. The Penitent One shows no mercy, and with a series of new weapons offering new moves, brutal executions, and expanded combos, destruction will rain on any that stand in his way. Blasphemous II provides new ways to play, with the ability to customize and improve your base skillset alongside several new unique weapons to unleash devastating attacks on enemies.

Hordes of monstrous foes stand between you and your goal; twisted bosses with unique attack patterns and sundering abilities will put your skills to the test as you fight to stand triumphant when the dust settles. A whole new world awaits, bustling with mysterious new NPCs to interact with; some will offer aid, some will ask for it, and others will send you on death-defying missions to obtain long-forgotten items. With so much to see and do, the stories and myths you encounter will help you unpick the game’s myriad of secrets, granting you a deeper understanding of this strange new world.”

Blasphemous II will be available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch (!?), and PC (Steam) at the end of the summer.
