‘Blasphemous: Wounds of Eventide’ Launch Trailer Reveals Free Bloody DLC

Wounds of Eventide, the last piece of DLC for the critically acclaimed dark fantasy Blasphemous, has officially been released on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Alongside the release of the concluding chapter of Blasphemous, The Game Kitchen, the developers behind the title, have released a brand new trailer for the free expansion to get players excited to once again traverse the brutal world of Cvstodia.

The brand new trailer combines clips from the beautifully animated reveal trailer shown off back in August and brand new and just as pretty pixel art gameplay footage as the protagonist of the game, The Penitent One, battles through new areas and enemies, with the Steam page for the DLC promising “new levels, bosses and items, and unearths secrets that will unlock another fate for Cvstodia – leading into the events of the Blasphemous sequel.” The DLC also comes with a host of patches and bug fixes, with the full list being found in the Steam link above. The full game is also 75% on sale, with new players being able to pick up the base game and its free DLC for under $7 until December 13.

Wounds of Eventide was revealed during the Awesome Indies Showcase at Gamescom with The Game Kitchen and indie game publisher Team 17 also announced a sequel alongside the now released DLC, with Blasphemous II set to release in 2023. This free expansion will join The Stir of Dawn and Strife & Ruin as the third and final piece of DLC of the game, tying up loose story threads and providing what is being called the “true ending” for the original Blasphemous while also setting players up for the upcoming sequel.

Blasphemous began as a Kickstarter game that eventually reached $300,000 in total backing, shooting past its $50,000 goal. The game gained attention thanks to its uniquely dark setting and fantastic pixel art style. Upon its initial release, the game received high praise thanks to the previously mentioned aesthetic, but also for its tight gameplay that combined Souls-like brutality with Metroidvania platforming and combat. Not even including its three expansions, the game has received a number of other free updates and new content since its release in 2019, including a New Game+ Mode, Boss Rush, and even brand new bosses and NPCs.

Blasphemous Wounds of Eventide is available now on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC with the sequel Blasphemous II set to release sometime in 2023. You can watch the new launch trailer for the Wounds of Eventide DLC down below.
