The Game Kitchen and Team17 Digital announced that Blasphemous 2 preorders have gone live. A Digital Deluxe version – exclusive to Steam – is also available to preorder and includes the Blasphemous 2 official soundtrack and digital artbook. Alongside the global launch on digital platforms from 24th August, physical editions of Blasphemous 2 will be available in Europe for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S courtesy of Astragon Entertainment and in the US on 15th September.

Blasphemous 2 is a direct sequel to the first eponymous game, Blasphemous. The Miracle has returned, the birth of a prophetic new miracle child has been foretold, and it once again falls to The Penitent One to explore a strange world, defeat grotesque monstrosities, and give everything to stop the prophecy from coming to pass.

Featuring three unique weapons to acquire and master, and an enhanced skillset to choose from, players will have to use these new tools to survive and explore a land hell-bent on sending them back to the grave. Monstrous enemies and challenges lurk around every corner, and The Penitent One must face them all in his mission to stop the prophetic birth of a new Child of the Miracle while collecting scattered pieces of lore, unpicking long-forgotten secrets, and avoiding death's final embrace time and time again.

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 customize 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.

While Blasphemous plays like a Metroidvania, a genre that offers an intertwined world that gradually opens up as we acquire more skills, such as in Metroid Dread & Castlevania, its narrative design structure is quite reminiscent of Dark Souls game. The plot is not given on a silver platter to the player. Instead, if you want to immerse yourself in it, you'll have to scavenge the scattered lore around the game's world, as seen in Salt and Sacrifice.

Blasphemous 2 is ready to order in the Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
