Cult of the Lamb to Release Interactive Comic as Part of Pilgrim Pack DLC (Exclusive)

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades under my belt, I must say that the announcement of the new Pilgrim Pack for Cult of the Lamb has me absolutely thrilled! The interactive comic that comes along with it is an innovative twist that truly piques my interest.


In a recent announcement, developers Massive Monster and publisher Devolver Digital revealed that the game Cult of the Lamb will soon feature a fresh, interactive comic expanding its universe. They also unveiled the Pilgrim Pack, a new DLC available for purchase. This DLC not only offers new content but also includes an engaging comic where players can make choices, following a new character’s journey and diving deeper into the game world through alternate storylines. To get a glimpse of what the Pilgrim Pack has to offer, take a look at the sneak peek provided below.

As a gamer, I’m super excited about the Pilgrim update for Cult of the Lamb! Jojo Zhou, Head of Narrative at Massive Monster, shared with ComicBook last week that this update offers a fresh perspective to explore the game world and its beloved characters. It delves deeper into the lore of Cult of the Lamb while showcasing its stunning visuals like never before.

For the second time, the world of “Cult of the Lamb” has been translated into a comic book format. According to creator Zhou, comics offer an innovative approach for both fans and creators to delve deeper into the realm of “Cult of the Lamb“. “Comics enable us to linger longer in this world without the need for progression,” Zhou explained. “They allow us to engage more intimately with characters and locations, and provide fresh viewpoints.” The game’s perspective is limited to a top-down view, so it’s intriguing to revisit the world free from the confines of gaming, offering a more abstract visual style, and providing a closer look at the characters. Moreover, Zhou mentioned that the comic series offers fans a glimpse into the lives of characters lower in the hierarchy, such as Followers, who occupy the bottom rung of the social ladder.

When asked why they chose an interactive format for the comic, Zhou explained that as former game developers, the creative team found this method to be a novel approach, enabling them to incorporate choices for readers and multiple story paths, reminiscent of the ‘Choose your own adventure’ books from their childhood. The comic, which follows a pilgrimage through the Lands of the Old Faith, was designed to evoke feelings of awe, danger, and exploration. Additionally, the interactive format enabled them to include music and sound effects to enhance the atmosphere, and it was translated into all 10 languages for localization.

Inquired about a final sneak peek, Zhou hinted that the upcoming comic will delve into the backstory of certain characters frequently requested by fans and also offer a glimpse of the ancient deities known as the Old Gods. “Additionally,” he continued, “a separate bonus comic awaits at the conclusion of the in-game storyline. However, to discover its content, you’ll have to embark on that adventure yourself!”

The new Pilgrim pack of Cult of the Lamb will be released on August 12th.
