Cult of the Lamb is set to get its first bout of expansion-style content, which is to say we'll be jumping back into it in a post-game sense, with new characters, new crusades and a host of new aspects to both the game's roguelike and farming/sim mechanics.

The glorious update will feature a brand new post-game storyline in which a mysterious being asks you to conquer revamped crusades, enemies and bosses with the help of Relics; usable items that bestow unique effects upon the Lamb, enhancing combat in a multitude of different ways. Conduct Sermons to unlock new Relics and keep track of them in the Relic Book as you uncover mysterious new lore concerning ‘The Three Ducks’.

Combat improvements also come in the form of Heavy Attacks, which enable the Lamb to embark on deeper and more challenging expeditions than ever before. Players will need to combine all of their new skills to take on tougher enemies boasting beefier attacks!

Growing a cult isn’t just about defeating enemies and converting non-believers, however, so Relics of the Old Faith also heralds a host of new content to ensure a happy commune. Assign a Follower to do the meal prep for you in the Kitchen, cooking up to 30 meals for your hungry flock, and solve their sleeping problems with Shared Shelters that house up to 3 Followers. As your Cult continues to grow, you’ll need a nice new Crypt to store the mounting corpses, but keep things looking pretty with Farm Plot Signs that use the Lamb’s powers of suggestion to encourage Followers to organise their crops.

Followers will continue to evolve into new and unusual forms following the update, including badgers, penguins, racoons and more, and proud Cult Leaders can preserve their treasured memories forever with the new Photo Mode.

As you can see from the official press release and video above, this new update is jam-packed with new features and content, which will extend the life of arguably Australia's best made game of at least the last few years for a lot longer, and we couldn't be happier about that.

Cult of the Lamb: Relics of the Old Faith will be available from April 24 on PC and console for the very friendly price of free. Stay tuned to us for more as we have it on one of our favourite games of 2022.
