Indie darlingCult of the Lambjust isn’t slowing down anytime soon, from the look of things. Even though it received ahuge hotseat multiplayer updatevery recently, developer Massive Monster is already looking to celebrate the game’s second anniversary with – believe or not – Cthulhu itself. Slightly nerfed, mind.
More specifically, Massive Monster is looking to memorializeCult of the Lamb‘s second birthday by re-releasing the Cthulhu follower formfor freeto everyone playing the game on August 16. I say ‘re-release’ because some may recall that the Cthulhu form isn’t actually new, but an old pre-order bonus that was left ignored up until now. We’ll now be able to reclaim him, alongside a suite of appropriately festive anniversary goodies.
Unlock Cthulhu in Cult of the Lamb on August 16
If you felt that theUnholy Alliance update forCult of the Lamblacked a tentacle or two, make sure that you log into an updated version of the game on August 16 to resolve that particular concern. Anyone claiming the Cthulhu follower form will also get the snazzy Flower Cart, Prayer Box, and Stone Candle Lamp accessories for the Cult grounds, which is neat in its own right.
The bit that I’m uncertain about is whether Cthulhu will now be permanently available as a bonus for anyone playing the game, or if it’s a one-off bonus for people specifically logging in on August 16. I recommend sticking to Massive Monster’s specific instructions, if you’d like to unlock the big lad in your game: “Make sure your game is fully up to date, Cthulhu and décor will be available in-game as soon as your system clock hits August 16th,” saysthe announcement.
For those who are chasing after a real-worldCult of the Lambgoodie or two, the announcement also highlights a few cute new plushies and shirts, and they seem genuinely well designed. Neat stuff, that, though I reckon I’ll be sticking with the green tentacled meanie, myself.
