Blasphemous

Developer The Game Kitchen's gorgeously grotesque "non-linear" action-platformer, Blasphemous, will be heading to Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC, and Switch later this year, publisher Team 17 has announced.

If the name sounds familiar, that's because The Game Kitchen (previously responsible for The Last Door, a wonderfully atmospheric series of Lovecraft-inspired point-and-click adventures), initially unveiled Blasphemous all the way back in the shadowy depths of 2017.

At the time, it was cavorting its wares on Kickstarter, with the campaign eventually securing an impressive $333,246 USD - well above its original $50,000 USD goal. Truthfully though, it's not hard to see why so many people were drawn to the project: it's an extremely attractive game. Although, granted, its inarguable artistic prowess might not be everyone's cup of tea.

If there’s one thing that a Souls-alike needs to get right (Soulsyvania, in this case), it’s evocative boss names, and Blasphemous clearly has it all worked out. Featuring the likes of “Exp sito, Scion Of Abjuration”, “Three Anguishes” and “Our Lady Of The Charred Visage” in its new trailer, it’s no surprise that The Game Kitchen’s grim platform hack n’ slasher has attracted publisher Team 17. While neither publisher or developer want to guess at a release date, we can at least see it in motion. Below, a trailer dripping with blood, holy viscera and all the trappings of ecclesial horror.

You will play as The Penitent One, a sole survivor of the massacre of the ‘Silent Sorrow’.
