The delightfully Catholic metroidvaniaBlasphemouswill add New Game+ mode in a big free update on August 4th, developers The Game Kitchen have announced. Named ‘True Calvary’, for extra Catholicism, the NG+ mode will not only do the usual ‘start a new game after beating it to continue with your old gear’ dealio, but include a new quest line with new bosses and items. That’s nice, that. Though for people who can’t even beat it the first time, good news: the update will also bring changes include a new map and more fast travel points.

The Game Kitchen announced The Stir Of Dawn, as they call this “free DLC”, during last night’s Day Of The Devs showcase.

So yes, True Calvary will let you start a new run over, facing tougher enemies but keeping your old gear. Adding a new quest line to that is interesting, even if lots of folks likely won’t see it. You’ll need to really suffer if you want to see more of the cycle of this broken world.

The Stir Of Dawn is due to arrive on August 4th. The devs sayon Steamthey’ll be revealing more in the run-up to launch. The game’s also on GOG, Xbone, PlayStation, and Switch.
