Hello Everyone!

We are happy to announce that our first content update for Damned 2 is now live!

This update brings one of the biggest new mechanics so far: the Blood Oracle. Survivors can now sacrifice the Heart at the Blood Altar to summon the Blood Whisper, a spectral guide that points to the next missing item. It’s a way to help when progress stalls, while still keeping the tension high because the monster can see the Heart and hears your voice chat while you’re carrying it.

New Feature: Blood Oracle

Blood Altar

• Assists survivors in finding lost items by summoning the Blood Whisper.

• Survivors must locate the Sacrificial Heart and place it on the altar.

• Monsters cannot see or collide with the altar.

The Sacrificial Heart

• Spawns in one of the already opened rooms a few minutes into a match.

• The altar can reveal the Heart’s location or show the timer for the next spawn.

• When active, the Heart emits a global directional heartbeat and moves around the map.

• If carried, the monster can see the Heart and hear the carrier’s VOIP, and the AI becomes aware of the holder.

• If not picked up within 3 minutes, the Heart respawns in another room.

The Blood Whisper

• Slowly guides survivors to the next key or puzzle item.

• Will not appear if survivors already hold an unused key or if there are unsolved puzzles, though the altar will still point to what’s missing.

• Disappears once the guided item is collected; then a new Heart spawns.

Available Difficulty Modes

• Beginner – First Heart at 4 minutes; new Heart spawns 1 minute after the last item is collected.

• Normal – First Heart at 5 minutes; new Heart spawns 3 minutes later.

• Limited – First Heart at 7 minutes; new Hearts spawn 5 minutes later. Limited to 2 total.

• No Altar – Removes all altars from the map.

Gameplay

• Survivor lives now persist across the match. Players who reconnect return with the same lives they had before disconnecting.

• Players who rejoin with zero lives cannot select a survivor that is still alive.

• Players joining mid-game cannot take a dead survivor slot if a living one is available.

Maps

• Added Blood Altars to all maps (one guaranteed in the main corridor/room; others may appear randomly).

• Adjusted collision to prevent objects from getting stuck.

• Added more puzzles across maps to reduce chances of puzzle shortages.

UI

• Survivors can now see the remaining lives of other survivors.

• Improved voice chat feedback.

• Fixed valve rotation lock when survivors added valves too quickly.

• Fixed some puzzles floating.

• Fixed inventory items not clearing when a player left the game.

• Fixed small issue with Blight’s energy bar UI.

• Possible fix for profile window showing the wrong player.
