Cult of the Lamb

Cult of the Lamb has a Switch 2 version confirmed for October 22 at 2,530 yen, with a free overseas upgrade path for Switch owners and a possible 100 yen charge in Japan. Cumulative sales across all platforms passed 7 million copies per April 2026 investor information, and the developer has publicly raised the possibility of legal action against a slot game it says copied its characters.

Cult of the Lamb's commercial life now runs across more formats than the game itself. A Switch 2 version is confirmed for October 22 at 2,530 yen, the same price as the original Switch release. Switch owners get an upgrade path, free overseas and possibly 100 yen in Japan. Devolver Digital confirmed the port, and cumulative sales across all platforms passed 7 million copies, per April 2026 investor information.

That reach extends into other games and physical products. A free update for Two Point Museum on August 21 added Cult of the Lamb collaboration content: four new survey sites in the Land of the False Bishop, four types of special exhibits, and a mechanic that turns museum visitors into followers, lowering staff salary demands and unlocking rituals. Earlier, the official board game adaptation raised over 100 million yen on Kickstarter in one day from more than 2,445 backers against a goal of about 4.1 million yen, with the campaign running until August 15. The game is planned in English, French, Spanish, and German, for one to four players.

On Steam, the base game was 50 percent off at 1,285 yen until June 26, and the January 2026 Woolhaven DLC was 20 percent off at 1,520 yen in the same period. The most recent development is a dispute: Compass Games released the slot game Cursed Sheep on October 7 for Stake and Stake USA, and its promotional footage shows a crown-wearing character identical to the lamb protagonist. The official Cult of the Lamb X account quoted a community post calling the characters complete AI copies, called the slot game "slot slop," and raised the possibility of legal action.
