A New Chapter for CULTIC
3D Realms and Jasozz Games have released the Chapter Two story expansion DLC for CULTIC. It is the long-awaited story expansion for the retro horror-shooter that has earned an “Overwhelmingly Positive” rating on Steam. Priced at €9.75 EUR / £8.50 GBP, the DLC launches alongside the free 2.0 Update, which delivers widespread improvements and optimizations for all players, even those sticking with Chapter One.
Chapter Two picks up where the first chapter left off, plunging players into a city overrun by cultists. Awakening in the frigid Morgue beneath a burning police station, you must fight through a devastated New Grandewel filled with corpses, flames, and relentless enemies. The expansion offers larger, more intricate maps, new weapons, additional enemy types, and plenty of hidden secrets to uncover.
Developers reworked combat to make it feel even more intense and flexible. They brought back classic weapons and added Interlude’s Revolver and SASG. This lets players swap them freely with the lever-action and sawed-off shotguns. They redesigned the Dodge system and introduced a new Tackle mechanic, giving players fresh ways to engage enemies. They can now dart away from danger or ram foes to stun them and create openings to reload or counterattack. Temporary heavy weapons like the mounted machinegun and bazooka now deliver explosive firepower, while overhauled Tower Shields let players carry them, plant them for cover, or even kick them into enemies for devastating impact.
To extend replayability, three new Survival Maps feature standout arenas from the expansion, challenging players to survive waves of cultists. The 2.0 Update also enhances visuals, lighting, and performance across both chapters, making environments denser and more detailed. With these upgrades and a polished first chapter, CULTIC: Chapter Two delivers a thrilling continuation and conclusion to one of the most celebrated retro shooters on Steam.
