And then with Unholy Alliance, we kind of added the local co-op and stuff to go alongside that. Now we&#8217;re really happy with how it is; we packed it full of secrets and content. There&#8217;s loads of stuff to do, but we did feel like there was more that we could offer.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When Cult of the Lamb released back in 2022, Massive Monster had just a small core team working on the roguelike. &#8220;It was the first sort of big game we made in Unity,&#8221; Pearmain says. &#8220;We were a really small team when we started out, and now we&#8217;ve kind of grown into a much bigger team. So we wanted to put all those lessons into practice and just make something really chunky.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The community was still screaming out for more, more, more. They wanted more dungeons, more biomes to fight for and stuff. But what we didn&#8217;t want to do was just go, &#8216;Okay, here&#8217;s one new biome and a few new buildings and stuff.&#8217; We wanted to make it a real chunky experience, something a bit like The Witcher 3: Blood and Wine, Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, and Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, which you can really sink your teeth into. And it feels like you&#8217;re getting a whole new kind of game.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1920px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rehj8N6QCfeN7kB5ouQuu8\" name=\"Cult of the Lamb Woolhaven screenshots\" alt=\"Running around in Ewefall\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/cult-of-the-lambs-woolhaven-is-inspired-by-the-likes-of-the-witcher-3-blood-and-wine-and-elden-ring-shadow-of-the-erdtree-we-wanted-to-make-it-a-real-chunky-experience-1.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"inline\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Devolver Digital)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Going into Woolhaven, I thought the new snowy biome and rot biome would have just a couple of levels to them. I didn&#8217;t think each would have several levels, each with new boss fights and therefore cultists to indoctrinate.<\/p>\n<p>Now I&#8217;ve got Festor, Nestor, and Mestor sleeping peacefully in my camp alongside new rot cultists like Poyel, Eleleth, and Ophans. Now all I have to do is give all of them skull necklaces to ensure they stick around for as long as possible.<\/p>\n<p>But that&#8217;s not all. Woolhaven also introduces an extended cult area, which you can fill with new buildings like your animal ranch, and a new winter mechanic. There&#8217;s just so much to keep you busy. &#8220;It was just fun to be able to do a bit of a reset and not start from scratch, but rethink a few things, and give the community something they can really get into,&#8221; Pearmain says.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve been working on it for a long time. From the beginning, it was probably about two years of work. We&#8217;ve done a number of free updates, but this is definitely the biggest thing we&#8217;ve done since launch. So yeah, we were very excited and just interested to see how the community was going to react. And that was really positive. So it was a relief.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"e238d6f6-55ec-491a-ba94-c33b29fdcecf\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2026 games\" data-dimension48=\"2026 games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:661px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:98.94%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"6offQUY4CXebir2TC27dMd\" name=\"kingdom come 2 square\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/cult-of-the-lambs-woolhaven-is-inspired-by-the-likes-of-the-witcher-3-blood-and-wine-and-elden-ring-shadow-of-the-erdtree-we-wanted-to-make-it-a-real-chunky-experience-2.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"661\" height=\"654\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/new-pc-games-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"e238d6f6-55ec-491a-ba94-c33b29fdcecf\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2026 games\" data-dimension48=\"2026 games\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>2026 games<\/strong><\/a>: All the upcoming games<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Our all-time favorites<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-50-best-free-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Free PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Freebie fest<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-fps-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best FPS games<\/strong><\/a>: Finest gunplay<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-rpgs-of-all-time\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best RPGs<\/strong><\/a>: Grand adventures<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-co-op-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best co-op games<\/strong><\/a>: Better together<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/roguelike\/cult-of-the-lambs-woolhaven-dlc-is-inspired-by-the-likes-of-the-witcher-3-blood-and-wine-and-elden-ring-shadow-of-the-erdtree-we-wanted-to-make-it-a-real-chunky-experience\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m a huge fan of Cult of the Lamb, and even still, Woolhaven managed to exceed my expectations.
