Blasphemous II dev diary #10: "Tales from Cvstodia”

To celebrate the recent release of Blasphemous 2, developers at The Game Kitchen, in collaboration with Team17, have produced 11 episodes full of behind-the-curtains footage about the development of this sequel. In this tenth episode, take a deep look at some of the influences and cultural references that helped the narrative designers craft many of the twisted stories featured in Blasphemous 2.

Awakened in a strange new land, and displaced from his final resting place, The Penitent One is thrust back into the endless cycle of life, death, and resurrection, with no other option than to explore this perilous new world and uncover its long-forgotten secrets.

The second scripture in the Blasphemous series portends the return of The Penitent One, with a story that continues from the free Wounds of Eventide update for the original game, where The Heart in the sky heralded the return of The Miracle and foretold the birth of a new miracle child.

Hordes of grotesque enemies stand in your way, awaiting final judgement by the brutal hand of the Penitent One, with titanic twisted bosses also lurking in the darkness, waiting for their chance to return you to the grave from whence you came.
