‘Morbid: The Lords of Ire’ Bumped Up to May 17 Release, Adds Xbox One Support [Trailer]
Publisher Merge Games and developer Still Running have announced a release date bump of May 17 for their horrorpunk action-adventure title Morbid: The Lords of Ire. The follow-up to the 2020 Lovecraftian RPG Morbid: The Seven Acolytes was originally set to release on May 23 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, the Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.
Accompanying the release date change is a new trailer, as well as news that Morbid: The Lords of Ire will be getting support for Xbox One, allowing last-gen players to get in on the fun. The game will also see a physical edition heading to PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch, with pre-orders available now.
Morbid: The Lords of Ire invites players to risk madness venturing through a revolting hell as the Striver of Dibrom. You must fight across tortured landscapes in an all-new 3D perspective in order to defeat the returning five Lords of Ire, slaughtering hideous creatures using a range of vicious weapons, equipment and blessings.
How you approach combat in Morbid: The Lords of Ire can have a dramatic impact on the world around you. The Lords of Ire builds upon the sanity system from Morbid: The Seven Acolytes, whereby succumbing to insanity can grant incredible power, but at great personal risk, and will dynamically change how you perceive the world around you.
The demo for The Lords if Ire is still available on PlayStation and Steam.

Upcoming “Unholy Alliance” Update for ‘Cult of the Lamb’ Adds Local Co-op and More [Teaser]
Cult of the Lamb players will be getting more free goodies later this summer with the Unholy Alliance update. Coming August 12, the update introduces a brand new playable character in the Goat, which coincides with the game allowing local co-op.
With the Unholy Alliance update, the entire Cult of the Lamb campaign will be playable in local co-op. Players will also be able to enjoy special 2-player versions of existing mini-games, such as Fishing and Knucklebones, as well as choose from a selection of weapons, tarot cards, curses, and corrupted relics as your cooperative crusades progress.
The Lamb and Goat can also swap weapons, deal extra damage when fighting back to back, and even deliver a critical hit when their attacks are in sync. Good news for those who prefer to stay alone in their corner: they will be able to benefit from various new powers.
In addition to the addition of cooperative play, the Unholy Alliance expansion adds several tarot cards, relics, buildings, fleeces, character traits and quests, as well as the addition of new secrets to discover.
More information on the update will be released as the launch date creeps closer. Cult of The Lamb is available now on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and the Nintendo Switch.
