Cult of the Lamb is voor velen een bekende indie game. De schattige stijl met de achterliggende bloederige gameplay is een grote hit op meerdere platformen. Het spel wordt dan ook nog steeds goed ondersteund en kreeg vorig jaar nog de Blood Moon Festival update.
Nu is er een nieuwe grote gratis update genaamd de Relics of the Old Faith. In deze enorme gratis content update zul je onder andere meer post-game verhaal krijgen, meer diepgaande combat, meer replay value, vernieuwde bosses, vijanden en meer. Om deze update te vieren is de game ook tijdelijk afgeprijsd en kun je het spel nu verkrijgen in de eShop voor €16,24 (actie loopt t/m 26-4-23).
