Disciples of the lamby-lamb cult should rejoice, as developer Massive Monster and publisher Devolver Digital has confirmed they will be proclaming Relics of the Old Faith – the first major content update for Cult of the Lamb – will be blessing followers on PC and consoles for free starting 24 April 2023.
This expansion features a new post-game storyline, enhanced combat, and a host of new content to keep players engaged. The new storyline revolves around a mysterious being that tasks players with conquering revamped crusades, enemies, and bosses using Relics. These usable items grant unique effects to the Lamb, adding depth and versatility to combat. Players can unlock new Relics through Sermons and keep track of them in the Relic Book as they unravel the lore surrounding “The Three Ducks”.
Combat improvements include Heavy Attacks, which allow the Lamb to undertake more challenging expeditions and face off against tougher enemies with powerful attacks. Players will need to combine their new skills and Relics to overcome these obstacles.
Relics of the Old Faith also brings new features to help players manage their growing cult. A Follower can be assigned to the Kitchen to prepare meals, while Shared Shelters can house up to three Followers, addressing sleeping needs. Players can store corpses in a new Crypt, and use Farm Plot Signs to encourage Followers to organize their crops.
Lastly, the update adds new forms for Followers, including badgers, penguins, and raccoons. A new Photo Mode allows Cult Leaders to capture and preserve their in-game memories.
Praise the Lamb!
