Salt and Sacrifice – the sequel to the acclaimed Salt and Sanctuary – has received a release date for 10 May 2022 on PS4 and PS5.<\/p>\n

This was revealed in an announcement trailer posted on PlayStation’s YouTube channel and a post<\/a> made by James Silva of co-developer Devoured Studios.<\/p>\n

He explained that the game focuses on a group of Inquisitors tasked with hunting down all who use magic and added that this sequel has more extensive online elements allowing the player to invade or assist other players.<\/p>\n

This online play is similar to the system utilised in the Souls games and will be optional for players to engage with.<\/p>\n

Additionally, he explained that the PvP elements of Salt and Sacrifice are far more dynamic than that of its predecessor and include sprinting attacks, a grappling hook, dozens of runic arts to use, quick-swap ranged attacks and alchemical bombs.<\/p>\n

The addition of a grappling hook will allow for greater mobility in both exploration and combat.<\/p><\/div>\n

Likewise, the online interactions with other players have been improved and are now based around Inquisitor Sects, which allow for different methods and goals when invading and co-oping\u00a0– much like Dark Souls Covenants.<\/p>\n

Two of the Sects he commented on are the Blighttakers: The Shroud Alliance and the Blueheart Runners.<\/p>\n

The Blighttakers: The Shroud Alliance is a Sect that focuses exclusively on indiscriminately slaying other inquisitors; those who bring the greatest suffering receive the greatest blessings.<\/p>\n

However, the Blueheart Runners is a less direct Sect that seeks profit over rampant slaughter; Blueheart Runners invade to kill the creatures found in other players worlds for loot and, in so doing, spawn horrible monsters in their wake.<\/p>\n
