Team17 and The Game Kitchen have announced a few update for Blasphemous, the first piece of news is that Wounds of Eventide, the next piece of DLC for the game, will arrive on consoles and PC on December 9th, check out the animated trailer for it below.

Wounds of Eventide introduces new bosses, areas, and items, and underlines the stark truth that penitence never ends… it only changes.

“We’re so excited to finally announce that we’ve started work on a Blasphemous sequel, the community have shown so much love for the first game and we can’t wait to share more when we can! New beginnings also mean new endings, and Wounds of Eventide is exactly that, it’s the final instalment for the original Blasphemous and we hope people love playing the new content as much as we loved creating it.

Finally, we wanted to share some behind the scenes from the production of the trailer you’ve just watched, it was important to us to stay true to the game’s roots, so we included a live orchestral track recorded by a selection of traditional and authentic procession musicians, with some of the orchestra having performed during the Holy Week in Seville, Spain. We want to extend our thanks to everyone involved in the process, especially the incredible musicians who bought our vision to life so vividly.”

Check out the behind the scenes video below.

That could have been enough news for one day, but they have also announced that a sequel is in development, with the team aiming for a release in 2023. There are no details for it yet, outside of that, but it is nice to see them thinking long term.
