The limited collector’s edition of Blasphemous 2 is expected to be in high demand. The contents reflect the developers' dedication to the game with a range of collectible items typically found in such editions.
The entire package comes in a collector’s edition box with a premium finish featuring unique key artwork. The steelbook display case is elegantly simple, adorned with the game’s title and a decorative mark of martyrdom insignia against a black background.
An instruction manual created by the developers and a game guide spanning over 60 pages are included. Additionally, two CDs of music composed by Carlos Viola for Blasphemous 2’s official soundtrack are accompanied by a collector’s CD cover and an exclusive digital download code for the OST.
Furthermore, an art cards set with three new illustrations, a Marca del Martirio metal coin, and an art book with over 60 pages add to the collector’s edition. Finally, the package contains a Thank You letter from The Game Kitchen and a certificate of authenticity.
The release date for the collector’s edition is slated for spring 2024, and pre-orders are currently available for eager fans.

Whether the release is timed strategically or serves as a way for players to cherish the game with physical merchandise remains to be seen. The collector’s edition will be available for Nintendo Switch and PS5, albeit not for Xbox.
