Salt & Sacrifice Release Date May Pc Trailer 2

Salt and Sacrifice gets a new trailer and a PC release date for May

The saltiest thing I ever tasted.

Since June last year, we’ve been waiting patiently for word on the Salt and Sacrifice release date. Today, we wait no longer. The sequel to the 2D, side-scrolling Souls-like launches for PC on May 10. To celebrate, developer Ska Studios released a new trailer, showing off some features coming to the game. Want to see how PvP or co-op works? The trailer has got what you desire.

Gameplay-wise, the new trailer doesn’t offer much surprise. Salt and Sacrifice once more takes the Dark Souls formula and flips it on its side. The game will no doubt be tough as nails. Set in a dangerous world, you explore as a customized character, fighting enemies and bosses with an array of weaponry and magic.

 

Salt and Sanctuary, as Souls-y as it was when it launched in 2016, didn’t ape every facet of FromSoft’s games. It lacked the multiplayer component, something that its sequel won’t sleep on. The release date trailer for Salt and Sacrifice offers a glimpse of how multiplayer will look in the game. You must join a multiplayer faction to either summon a friend, or invade a human target. The friendlier situations will see you joined by an ethereal ally, who can assist you in taking down enemies and bosses alike. Thinking about how hard the first game was, I think I like the idea of summoning a distraction ally for the cause.

Salty goodness

The trailer does show off other new additions. One player is shown with a bow and arrow, which I don’t believe exists in the first game. Nor did a grappling hook, but it is featured in Salt and Sacrifice as a method of traversal and a way to create some distance in certain battles.

Regardless, the trailer includes much of what I’d expect from a Salt and Sanctuary sequel. The game will include massive bosses to slay, detailed, hand-drawn art, and more than its fair share of dying. A lot. These games aren’t known for their kindness, so you better be prepared for some salty runbacks when the game launches in May on the Epic Games Store.
