Patch 1 - Bug Fixes!

Hey Sinners,

We just want to reiterate what we said yesterday and say a huge THANK YOU to everyone that has supported Blasphemous.

Since launch we've been collating your feedback on all aspects of the game, from bugs to gameplay. Even if we're not posting in all of your threads, rest assured we're keenly taking notes on what you're telling us.

You'll also notice that this is Patch 1, which means more patches and content updates will be on their way - launching Blasphemous doesn't mean we're finished!

Patch Notes




Major issues
  • Player save game could be corrupted on rare occasions.*
  • Player progress could be partially reset on rare occasions.*
  • A backup system has been created.
  • The player could be softlocked after killing Tres Angustias.
  • Fixed "Grievance Ascend" gate locked after respawning if the player died while defeating Tres Angustias.

  • Unfortunately, if your save was corrupted it won't be recoverable. To help protect our players should future bugs arise, the mentioned backup system has been created.
UI issues
  • Menu can’t be opened during interactions anymore
Gameplay issues
  • The player could accumulate large amounts of vertical speed by pausing in certain conditions.
  • There were screen shake and vibrations occurring after the player crouched at the bottom of a ladder.
  • Crisanta could be damaged before the fight started using projectile attacks.
  • The player couldn’t attack upwards immediately after a dash.
  • The player could get stuck in the Wallclimb animation and could be exploited to levitate horizontally.

  • Removed breakable wall leading to an infinite fall in Library of Negated Words.
  • Fixed collisions in a room in Mercy Dreams where the Penitent One could get stuck into geometry after dashing and being hit with a projectile.
  • Muddy floors in Holy Line and Desecrated Cistern had some collision issues and have been fixed.
  • Modified shortcut connecting Desecrated Cistern with Wasteland of the Buried Churches. Replaced blood platforms by normal platforms.
Storyline fixes
  • The prayer Taranto to My Sister was missable. Now spawns if Esdras is dead and TPO doesn't own it.
  • Gemino quest was missable and players could be locked out of the 100% completion.
  • Empty Golden Thimble spawns near Gémino if he converts to the tree form before talking to him.
Balance tweaks

That wraps up Patch 1! Thanks again for your patience whilst we worked on your feedback. Now the work continues on Patch 2 and our post-launch content!

Blessed be The Great Miracle!




Blasphemous Launch - A thank you to the community!

Hey everyone,

It’s hard to choose where to start when there are so many emotions spinning around our heads and hearts, but there is only one thing that we at The Game Kitchen can say after these two incredible weeks since the September 10th release:

THANK YOU!



And specially to our backers, who were the first ones believing in our vision. It’s thanks to them that now thousands of players across all platforms are unveiling the mysteries of Cvstodia. We are extremely humbled by the incredible reception that Blasphemous got.

It still feels surreal to see some of our favourite journalists, content creators and streamers playing our game and giving us the thumbs up as well as hearing the stories and experiences from you, our players.

We’re having a great time watching how Blasphemous challenges all gamers out there, but we’re also pretty aware that our launch was not as perfect as it should have been. To address this the team are currently working hard on fixing and polishing all those problems that managed to escape months of intense QA.

Believe us when we say that we listen to all your concerns and problems. Fixing these issues are our top priority right now (And our penitence! :D)

Time for the bugs to pay for their sins...

In that sense, we’re pleased to announce that there is an update coming very soon that should address the most critical issues reported by the community, including:
  • Expected fix for player saves being corrupted on rare occasions.
  • Expected fix for player progress partially resetting on rare occasions.
  • Softlock fix after beating Tres Angustias.

The full patch notes will be shared when the patch goes live in the near future, it’ll include gameplay, geometry, bug and quest progression fixes.


What’s next?


We’re now focused on fixing the not so critical issues, which will follow shortly in our second patch.

More importantly it’s worth mentioning that we’ve started working on the first piece of Blasphemous post-launch content. This first update will focus on quality of life features and adjustments with our future content updates further expanding the world of Cvstodia and Blasphemous!

By the blessing of the Great Miracle we hope to discuss this in more detail soon...
