The devs behind Blasphemous andBlasphemous 2are teasing the full reveal of a new project arriving very soon, but no one on Earth seems to know what the heck it is.
“The bells toll again, Penitent One. Your patience has been a virtue, but you need not wait for much longer,” reads the tweet.
I’m a little conflicted about what I think this could be. The timing of it being so close to the release of Blasphemous 2 makes me think DLC, especially since the first game has three expansions and the sequel doesn’t yet have any, but the use of the sword from the first game trips up that logic somewhat. It definitely doesn’t rule out Blasphemous 2 DLC, but it’s enough to make me not want to say with any degree of confidence what’s being teased here.
I have to admit it’s absolutely tickling me watching the devs absolutely starve players desperate for more information using incredibly cryptic in-canon language. In response to one player asking about the appearance of the Mea Culpa and inexplicably lamenting potential new content, the official Blasphemous Twitter accountsaid: “And so I fear…That THY Penance is far from over.”
We’ll know more when we know more, I suppose.
