Blasphemous Updated To Patch 2 On Nintendo Switch

Team17 and The Game Kitchen have released a new update for Blasphemous on March 3, 2020.

The update fixes tons of bugs, added platforming improvements, and much more.

Full notes below:

Hello Sinners,

Patch 2 for Blasphemous is live now on all console platforms!

The Game Kitchen have been keenly going through player feedback since Blasphemous launched, taking note of player feedback as well as bug reports. During this period the team have been hard at work to address community feedback, whilst also working on upcoming free DLC to further expand the world of Cvstodia.

With this patch, the team have aimed to make Blasphemous feel even better and more accessible than ever, refining and polishing the experience as much as possible without actually changing the core game.

Full patch notes can be found below:
