‘Blasphemous 2’ Collector’s Edition Box Coming Spring 2024 for Switch, PlayStation 5 [Trailer]
Physical media fans looking for more from The Game Kitchen’s 2D soulslike Metroidvania Blasphemous 2 will have a treat next year. After the release of the standard physical release earlier this year, publisher Selecta Play has stepped up to reveal a Collector’s Edition of Blasphemous 2. Set to be released Spring 2024, the Collector’s Edition will be released across Europe and North American specialist retailers for the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5.
Alongside the full version of Blasphemous 2 on either console, the Collector’s Edition set will include a Steelbook case with exclusive artwork, a printed instruction manual created by The Game Kitchen (alongside a thank you letter from the team), a Marca del Martitio metal coin, three art cards with new illustrations, two CD’s of music composed by Carlos Viola alongside a collector’s CD cover with a code to download the digital soundtrack, a printed game guide with over 60 pages of Blasphemous lore and illustrations, and a certificate of authenticity. This will all be housed in a specially created premium finish collector’s box.
Blasphemous 2 sees the return of the supernatural entity The Miracle, leaving The Penitent One no choice but to explore a strange unfamiliar world, defeat the monstrosities that lay in wait, and try to stop the prophetic birth of a new miracle child from coming to pass.
The sequel to 2019’s soulslike is available now on the Nintendo Switch, PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series. Physical versions are also available for consoles.
Fans of Strange Scaffold and publisher Frosty Pop’s apocalyptic Life Eater have another reason to keep coming back to the game, as the much-anticipated Endless Mode is available now. Best of all, it’s a free update!
The new endless mode gives Life Eater players an arena to determine how long they can evade capture while delaying the end of the world. Collect score points called ZEAL by building an airtight procedure around your sacrifices, investigate the lives of countless procedurally generated kidnapping targets, and survive as long as possible in your personal gauntlet of nightmares.
“We’re so excited to expand the playtime of Life Eater with a uniquely dark and intriguing systemic experience,” says Strange Scaffold founder Xalavier Nelson Jr. “You really just terrorize an entire city of people over the span of decades, now, and I can only hope that I don’t come to regret writing that sentence in a press release.”
For those not in the know, Life Eater (check out Aaron’s review here) is a horror fantasy kidnapping simulator where you play as a druid living in suburbia. You serve a dark entity by abducting and sacrificing specific but vaguely described humans every year to stop the apocalypse. Use a unique video editing-inspired interface to discover the intimate lives of your victims, one schedule block at a time. When the time is right, abduct them before authorities find out.
You can snag a copy of Life Eater on Steam.
