True Torment and Mea Culpa Update



Hello Sinners,

Last week our Mea Culpa Expansion and True Torment Update for Blasphemous 2 launched together and we have been grateful for all your feedback both positive and critical.

We are aware of a number of bugs and aim to have a Patch for these released this week.

We have been reviewing the feedback you have provided on True Torment, specifically how it differs from Blasphemous 1.

We are already working on an update that makes changes to the mode based on this feedback. We aim to release this update soon after the initial bug fixing patch. This update will also provide balancing changes in areas you, the community have reported.

If you are running into any issues please let us know all the details you are able to provide via the steam forum or Team17 customer service so we can get it fixed as soon as possible.

Thank you for your support and patience,

The Game Kitchen & Team17
