During today’s Devolver Direct, Cult of the Lamb revealed its next update Unholy Alliance, which adds local co-op. This will go live for free on August 12, 2024.

Local co-op is a big addition, but that’s not all. A bunch of other content is included, ranging from new tarot cards to follower quests.

Everything you need to know can be found in the following description:

Unholy Alliance is the latest free update for smash hit Cult of the Lamb, introducing a new playable character: the Goat! Summoned by blood and born in corruption, this wicked new ally can join the holy Lamb in local co-op. Crusade through dungeons, slay heretics, build your cult, and seek new powers together on August 12.

Experience the entire Cult of the Lamb campaign in local co-op, with one player inhabiting the role of the Lamb and the other taking on the mantle of the Goat. Enjoy new 2-player twists on existing minigames like fishing and knucklebones, and choose from a selection of corrupted weapons, tarot cards, curses, and relics as you embark on co-op crusades.

The Lamb and the Goat can swap weapons, deal extra damage when fighting back-to-back, or deal a critical hit if their attacks are in sync. Solo players also get a heap of new powers and abilities to play with.

As well as the addition of co-op play, the Unholy Alliance expansion also adds new tarot cards, relics, buildings, fleeces, follower traits, follower quests, and other secrets to discover!
