Blasphemous 2 is getting a paid expansion dubbed 'Mea Culpa', launching alongside a free update next month on 31st October 2024.
The expansion will add in two major new zones alongside two formidable new boss characters. New quests, NPCs, weapons, abilities, and alternate ending will also flesh out the experience. Priced at £11.99 / $11.99 / €11.99 with an additional 20% at launch, it should prove a nice little jaunt back into the world of Blasphemous for fans.
In addition, every player will gain a free update to the main game, adding in the much-requested New Game+ mode alongside expanded zones, new challenges, new prayers, additions to accessibility, and numerous quality-of-life updates.
Let's check out the full feature list for the 'Mea Culpa' expansion:
- New Zones: Two massive new zones for you to endure their harsh winds and ascend their towering heights
- New Bosses: Fight some of the greatest challenges and stare defeat in the face in Mea Culpa
- New Quests: Piece together your sword and experience the power of Mea Culpa. Plus meet new characters along the way.
- New NPCs: 4 New compatriots for your journey, will they accept their fate or will you change them forever?
- New Alternative Ending: face some of Blasphemous II's fiercest challenges.
- as well as ways to grow the power of the Mea Culpa.
Blasphemous 2 launched in 2023 and proved to be one of the strongest Metroidvanias on Switch. We awarded it a score of 9/10, stating that "The Penitent One's return to Cvstodia is an absolute banger".

I will support the Blasphemous creators They deserve it!
I really love these games. Having been brought up going to church on a Sunday and thinking that a lot of the stories were metal as f*ck despite not exactly believing and also slightly put off by the idea that I was a horrible sinner who would burn for all eternity… this ticks all my boxes. It’s like all of the cool bits without the Catholic guilt.
Nice, happy for those interested (not me and if I ever were I'd play the original game first anyway)!
Blasphemous 2 is already in my top 5 metroidvanias, and if the dlc can sufficiently improve areas the first game still exceeds it's sequel in (replay value and challenge) it might just become my absolute favorite. What they've told so far seems very promising.
Niiiiice! Between this and the Prince of Persia DLC, we're going to be busy this end of the year! Fantastic game.
@JohnnyMind You never played blasphemous? BLASPHEMY!
@DripDropCop146 I know, but its theme is really not my cup of tea - absolutely brilliant games based on all I've seen and heard of them, just not for me!
I find both games pretty good, though their structure (find the mcguffins inside the dungeons) makes them a lot more predictable than most Metroidvanias. There's a lot more Zelda here.
@Thirteen1355 So it's like a Zeltroidvania?
I'm in! just jumped back into the game yesterday after only completing an hour or so last year. I'm ready!
Bought the Collectors Edition and the standard edition.
I'll also buy the inevitable Deluxe Edition with all the DLC included.
Great game.
LFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dogman is PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASED!!!!!!!!!
YUSSSSS!!! This just made my day!
I love these games. These are one of the few that feel influenced by Souls games without being inferior copies. They are also outstanding as Metroidvanias and the sprites, general art direction and music are incredible. My only complaint is that the music volume is somewhat low.
Didn't expect DLC to drop so soon but, hell yeah!!
Yes yes and yes. Love the games but it does invalidate the point of having the physical, just like when the first one bought out the extras.
@DripDropCop146 I'd say it doesn't warrant such a term, because most Metroidvanias are pretty close to Zeldalikes anyway, especially nowadays.
