A New Perilous Journey Awaits in Cult of the Lamb
Massive Monster has spent the past two years expanding the strange and unsettling world of Cult of the Lamb, and the result is Woolhaven, a major new expansion arriving on January 22. Published by Devolver Digital, Cult of the Lamb: Woolhaven launches on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One, priced at $16.99.
A newly released developer showcase offers a closer look at what awaits players. The creators themselves talked about the new gameplay systems, characters, and stories that shape this ambitious update. Woolhaven continues directly from the end of the original game’s main story. It pulls The Lamb into a fresh journey sparked by a mysterious summons from a long-forgotten God.
This call leads across a treacherous mountain range to Woolhaven, the ancestral homeland of the Lambs. The land is ruled by Yngya, the God of Winter, whose icy grip blankets the region in snow and frost. Survival becomes more demanding than ever, as keeping your followers warm, fed, and alive turns into the central challenge.
Woolhaven introduces a wide range of new content, including dungeons, buildings, weapons, characters, quests, and deeper progression systems. One of the standout additions is the ranching system, allowing players to tame and ride powerful beasts. This adds a new utility and strategy to life beyond the altar. In desperate moments, these creatures can even become a source of food.
With its colder setting and heavier emphasis on survival and management, Woolhaven reshapes the Cult of the Lamb experience while staying true to its dark charm. Players looking to prepare ahead of time can also pick up the base game at a 50% discount, reduced from $24.99 until December 18, before setting foot in this frozen new chapter.
