Damned 2 News

[h2]Hello Everyone![/h2][p][/p][p]We are happy to announce that our first content update for Damned 2 is now live! [/p][p][/p][p]This update brings one of the biggest new mechanics so far: the Blood Oracle. Survivors can now sacrifice the Heart at the Blood Altar to summon the Blood Whisper, a spectral guide that points to the next missing item. It’s a way to help when progress stalls, while still keeping the tension high because the monster can see the Heart and hears your voice chat while you’re carrying it.

[p]Hello Everyone !

New update dropping later this week: the Blood Oracle. Survivors can now sacrifice the Heart at the altar to summon the Blood Whisper, which points toward the next missing item. It’s a way to help players when things stall, but still keep the tension high — since the monster can sense and hear those who carry the Heart.

On top of that, we’ve added the altar to all maps, introduced four new banners, and fixed a bunch of issues (including some nasty soft locks and object bugs a few of you reported).

Full patch notes coming soon!

Fixed Lily auto-select.

Disabled console UI for good.
