Cult of the Lamb’s New Update ‘Sins of the Flesh’ Releases January 16th
Publisher Devolver Digital and developer Massive Monster have announced ‘Sins of the Flesh’ update for Cult of the Lamb will be coming on January 16th. The free update will add further “pleasures” for Followers. It boasts to be the biggest and most “wicked” content update yet. It will have new features, quests, improvements and a new evil resource that rewards those who obey the sins of the flesh.
A Host of New Features
The new features include new progression systems that will add further depth and complexity when it comes to leading your followers with Sins and Disciples. Taking on the sinful path, followers will be able to complete gluttonous rituals, construct vain buildings and commit wrathful doctrines. There’s even a revamped levelling system, with only the most devout followers being invited into the inner circle of Disciples.
Cult Life Improvements
Further improvements to cult life are underway. Gain shiny poop, baneful brooms and bigger and better buildings to make Cult life the best it can be. The new shiny excrements have a new effect, such as yielding more fruitful crops and being even more effective. An upgraded Janitor Station will make keeping the place clean more automated as well as Storage Structures to keep it that way.
New Weapon - Blunderbuss
Gain a brand new Blunderbuss weapon to blast away the heretics. This adds a whole new combat playstyle with a heavy charge attack to snipe enemies from afar.
New Drinkhouse
When you’re not out in combat, you’re able to take part in new activities at your base such as becoming a mixologist at the Drinkhouse. Rustle up some tasty concoctions such as Eggnog, Brog Brew and even some less tantalising ones such as Poop Juice, ew.
Populating the Cult
As you may have guessed from the title of the update procreation is now on the table. When two cult followers fall in love they may even drop an egg. Let them head into the Mating Tent to form their offspring which utilises the trait system. Nurture the egg to grow it into a new follower ready to join your Cult from the get-go. Or you may simply use the egg for food, as nothing goes to waste in Cult of the Lamb.
Flock Band
If you love rhythm games, the new Drum Circle mini game adds way to gather your loyal followers to form your own rock band or Flock Band. Simply follow the music commands and gain more Sin for your performance. The update also brings new outfits and options to keep your Cult in the latest fashion.

The update certainly adds some unique features and will make the game even more dynamic when it comes to growing your loyalists.
Growing a Following
Cult of the Lamb has also now surpassed 3.5 million copies sold since its initial launch on June 03, 2025. In case you missed it, the cult commanding game combines running your own group of loyal followers while you go on missions to battle old gods in a roguelite environment. The combination of sim management meets eldritch horror battling has made it a fan favourite. It also has Twitch integration which allows you to invite your own cult following into the game. Determining who gets to level, or who should be sacrificed certainly adds fun ways to include your viewers.
The game has received updates such as theRelics of the Old Faith DLCwhich added a new sword weapon, heavy attacks, photo mode to share those precious moments as well as a post-game storyline. More content seems to be underway this January and the great news is that it’s free! The content seems to keep growing with the developer continuing to support the game, making this a great buy for around $25. We named it one of our5 favourite demosto try out and for good reason. If you’re yet to pick up the ritual and ruin title you should give it a go. The bundle on Steam will save you 10% which includes the base game, heretic pack, soundtrack and cultist pack.
An Award Winning Lamb
Cult of the Lamb is one of those rare games that has a unique balance of roguelike combat and plenty to do when not on a mission. Its absurd, yet fun gameplay and interactions are probably why it made such waves as an indie game. The game’s premise is simple, attempt to survive different levels of combat as a lamb led to the slaughter. Grow a following that not only helps in future runs but gains unique rewards along the way. There’s a whole mess of wickedly humourous entanglements with your growing following, which can at times hinder your progress with dissenters.
The game has gone on to win numerous awards including Australian Game Developer Awards for Game of the Year, Excellence in Music, Excellence in Art, and Excellence in Gameplay. It was nominated for a Golden Joystick Award 2022 for Best Visual Design and ended up winning Best Indie. It was also nominated for Best Independent Game at the The Game Awards 2022. The soundtrack is pretty stellar, which is why it won the World Soundtrack Awards in 2023.
Cult of the Lambis now available on PS4, PS5, PC, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. The next free update Sins of the Flesh will be unleashed on January 16th 2024.
