Cult of the Lamb Gets Sins of the Flesh Update + Patch Notes

Cult of the Lamb players on PC, PlayStation 4 / 5, Xbox Series X / S, and Nintendo Switch got another content update today, called “Sins of the Flesh.” This free update brings several gameplay updates and changes, such as a new progression system and weapon.

Sins of the Flesh introduces quite a few major changes, some of which include the new Blunderbuss weapon and the Sin system. The update also sees the addition of follower eggs, new resources, new follower skins, and a questline extension, among many others.

The Blunderbuss excels in close-quarters combat, thanks to its short range and large damage output. However, the weapon can also be charged to snipe enemies from afar. Followers can also now generate sin, which can be used as currency to make changes to your buildings, purgatory, and follower indoctrinations.

Perhaps even more exciting is the addition of the follower egg feature. With this new addition, your followers now have a chance to fall in love and randomly find an egg. You can then take care of this egg until it hatches, and you can raise the new child to become a follower later in life.

Rounding out this update is the release of the Sinful Pack, which costs $4.99 on PC or $6.99 on consoles. This optional pack gives you the following:

• • Five new follower forms:
    • Hammerhead
    • Ladybug
    • Tiger
    • Llama
    • Sphynx
  • Six new follower outfits
  • Six new base decorations
  • New player fleece
