The eagerly anticipated update for Cult of the Lamb is slated for release on January 16, 2024. The roguelike game is set to unveil the Sins of the Flesh update, promising to enhance the delightful yet spooky essence of horror within the Cult of the Lamb, making it even more entertaining.
Referred to as the “sex update,” this particular Cult of the Lamb update raised eyebrows among fans with its teasing of provocative acts. The level of curiosity among fans was so intense that the developers felt compelled to clarify that Cult of the Lamb is not undergoing a transformation into an adult-themed game. The development team expressed their hope that the new update would not lead to an increase in the game’s age rating. Judging from the trailer, it’s evident that they succeeded, maintaining the game’s suitability for a teenage audience.
The Sins of the Flesh update introduces a unique feature, allowing players to experience the journey of falling in love and eventually mating. Following the mating process, the in-game followers assume the responsibility of caring for the resulting eggs, later pledging their loyalty upon hatching. Beyond the mating feature, the update delves deeper into the sinful aspects of the cult, while also introducing larger buildings that players can utilize to expand their cult. While not as extensive as the Relics of the Old Faith update released in April 2023, the Sins of the Flesh update still holds the potential to inject more fun into the game.
Despite Cult of the Lamb centering around an evil cult, it surprisingly exudes a pleasant atmosphere, and these new updates have heightened player anticipation for the upcoming year. Official announcements on platforms like X indicated that the game would incorporate “sex” if they reached 300,000 followers by the close of 2023. Remarkably, the game’s follower count has surpassed 600,000, and the developers have stayed true to their word.
