Blasphemous just celebrated its fifth anniversary on September 10. Following that, the developers announced that it’s bringing the challenging Metroidvania to mobile.

The game is already on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Switch, but it’ll be hitting iOS and Android on February 24, 2025, for $8. It’s now available for preorder on the Apple App Store, and pre-registration on the Google Play Store.

The game will be playable on mobile via the touchscreen or game controller, and it’ll include the base game along with all DLC. All three expansions were free when they originally released, but it’s nice to have them all in one package.

“The Miracle be praised!” the developers wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “After years of fan requests, you’ll soon be able to carry the dark and brutal world of Cvstodia in your pocket!” They also released a little trailer, which you can watch below. It doesn’t include any new footage, but it’s a reminder of just how stressful Blasphemous can feel at times.

Blasphemous - Mobile Announcement & Pre-Order/Registration Trailer

Blasphemous is often described as a Soulslike side-Metroidvania platformer because of its difficulty, its Gothic aesthetic, and unflinching religious themes that are akin to FromSoftware entries like Bloodborne and Dark Souls. It can be quite frustrating to play for those not used to these kinds of games, so maybe try to pair a Bluetooth game controller with your mobile device to make it just a bit easier to play.

Since Blasphemous released in 2019, The Game Kitchen has developed and launched Blasphemous 2. The 2023 sequel doesn’t change up the formula too much, but mostly works as yet another Blasphemous for those who want the challenge.

Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree is already wiping the floor with me
Elden Ring gameplay

Elden Ring was unanimously 2022’s Game of the Year. While many other fantastic games were released throughout the year, Elden Ring shut down all competition when it dropped in early March. It swept at awards shows and even landed a Game of the Year spot here on Digital Trends. It was the undisputed champ. Two years later, it’s now getting the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion. If a DLC ever had a chance at winning the top prize at The Game Awards, it could be this one.

Ahead of its June 21 release, I spent three hours with a hands-on preview of Shadow of the Erdtree. While it doesn’t offer anything drastically different from the base game, it’s still more of the same Elden Ring you love. It has an excellent atmosphere, fun exploration, and difficult bosses. More of the same isn’t a bad thing when that “same” is as beloved as this.
Return to the Lands Between
For those looking to pop in right on June 21, Bandai Namco clarified that players will need to have already beaten the bosses Starscourage Radahn and Mohg, Lord of Blood in order to access the expansion. Additionally, there are over 100 new weapons, some of which are not found in the base game.

Thankfully, the process is very simple, and even this tutorial video can show you the basics of modding your game in under three minutes.
Seamless Co-op

Elden Ring uses a more advanced form of the summoning systems from the Dark Souls series, but still has limitations, most notably being partners being forced out of your game after every boss or death. The Seamless Co-op mod aims to make the entire game playable with a partner without any interruptions when players die, bosses are beaten, and no fog walls. It is still being worked on, but already works very well.

After the difficult chapter 1 final boss, you should be ready for a similar experience when you hit the end of chapter 2 in Armored Core 6. These final tests are here to make sure you're ready to go on to the next level of difficulty in the game, ensuring your AC has the proper gear and weapons to handle the next set of missions. The Sea Spider is not going to give you a moment to think, so you will need to come in with a proper setup and plan of attack. Here's how to beat the Sea Spider in Armored Core 6.
Sea Spider boss guide

When prepping your AC for this fight, we suggest slapping on a pair of Gatling guns for your arms and twin Songbirds for your shoulder weapons. The Songbirds are there to inflict as much stagger as possible in the shortest amount of time, which you can then follow up with the consistent damage of your Gatlings. The only other thing to make sure to have is your own set of spider legs. During the boss's second phase, you will want to be able to stay airborne.
