These "powerful situational abilities" range from shockwaves and pursuing insect swarms to elemental buffs and storms of spectral blades.Įxactly how you go about your bludgeoning will, however, depend on the sect you join the Blighttakers' Shroud Alliance, for instance, favours indiscriminate slaughter of its fellow Inquisitors, while the Blueheart Runners have the task of locating and destroying haze-tainted creatures in other players' realms. PvP is entirely optional in-game, but those up for some violent shenanigans against other players will have access to an evolved combat toolset, featuring the likes of sprinting and associated attacks (which can be countered with a grappling hook), and "dozens" of Runic Arts. Salt and Sacrifice - Release Date Announce Trailer. Other additions we've previously been given a glimpse of include new Mage hunts - essentially multi-part pursuits across the world of Alterstone Kingdom (and its assorted abandoned villages, dungeons, tomb-temples, and other landmarks) that culminate in a fearsome boss battle - and Ska has now shared a closer look at Salt and Sacrifice's upgraded PvP.

It promises to be more than a retread of past glories, however, offering players - this time in the role of a Marked Inquisitor - a range of new features to experiment with, including a refreshed choice of classes: Highblade, Paladin, Assassin, Cleric, Dualist, Fighter, Ranger, and Sage. Salt and Sacrifice, as is amply evident from its release date trailer below, reprises much that made the original so good, serving up another deliciously gloomy slab of side-scrolling exploratory platforming and measured combat.

Salt and Sacrifice, the follow-up to Ska Studios' stupendous 2D Soulslike Salt and Sanctuary, finally has a release date and will be striding forth to PlayStation 4, PS5, and PC on 10th May.
