We’re excited to announce that we’ve partnered with Digital Mind Games and Kwalee to bring you this incredible bundle with The Spirit of the Samurai!



With their uniquely dark art styles, thrilling combat systems, and grotesque monster designs, it was only natural that The Spirit of the Samurai and Blasphemous 2 should be paired together in this gore-geous bundle. Not to mention, both games were made by Spanish developers!

Blasphemous 2, a stunning 2D action-platformer where you reprise your role as The Penitent One, who awakens to continue his endless struggle against The Miracle.

[h2]Greetings Sinners! It is truly a most blessed day, as the Balance and True Torment Patch has arrived! Thank you for your patience whilst we've worked on this patch![/h2]

The main focus of this patch is adjusting the way that the True Torment Mode works. Ascending your save file and starting again will let you keep your weapons (including Mea Culpa), Figures, Prayers, Rosary Beads (with minimal exceptions) and a small number of other items. This will only work on saves that are Ascended after the new update. Existing saves will instead be updated to automatically include the new Ultimate Torment challenge.

Ultimate Torment is a new challenge that is selectable when you Ascend your save. Selecting it will remove your weapons, Figures, Prayers and Rosary Beads, as it did by default before the update. This challenge cannot be turned off midway through your playthrough, so choose carefully!

We have also added further file selection options when you Ascend a save, so that you are less likely to delete your save data.

As we have changed the way that True Torment works, we have significantly rebalanced enemies, bosses and individual challenges when playing on an Ascended save.

[h3]Here are the other bugfixes and adjustments introduced in this patch:[/h3]

• Fixed a softlock that triggered when the player would try to hand in more Lumps of Gold than was required
  
• Fixed an issue where the player would sometimes receive damage multiple times from one source

Hello sinners!

Following on from yesterday's update, we've released a hotfix to address the issue with the Gold Lumps reward not triggering.

[h3]This hotfix fixes this bug:[/h3]

• Fixed an issue where you would not receive the reward for handing in all the Gold Lumps after collecting them all prior to the previous update
  

[h3]Please note: Players who already handed in the 20 Gold Lumps prior to the previous update, but who did not receive the reward, should have it in their inventory when they now update to this hotfix build.[/h3]

This first update focuses on fixing a number of bugs that were present on release. This update is releasing on Steam first, with other platforms to follow soon.
