Salt for Everyone

The free update is already live and coincides with Salt and Sacrifice’s Switch and Steam release. Previously the game was available on only PS5, P4 and PC via the Epic Games Store, but it’s now available on new platforms. Previously it was announced it would be heading to the handheld console, but it’s also received full support for the Steam deck as well as multiplayer crossplay. This means there are even more ways to get your daily dose of salt, dying to the many unforgiving enemies and bosses in Salt and Sacrifice.

In case you missed it, the sequel Salt and Sacrifice was released in May last year. New in the sequel are Mage Hunts, multi-phase pursuits which extend throughout regions of the map youโ€™ve already explored, resulting in majorย bossย battles.ย Opt-in mechanics for PvP let players create a Marked Inquisitor appearance, class and past crime, fleshing out the experience.ย Joining various factions for multiplayer combat and online interactions.

Characters are fully customisable with a unique feature called Ancestry that not only determines your overall looks, but your choice of Crime which grants a starting gift, and a variety of starter Classes that determine your initial Equipment. Classes include AssassinClericFighterDuelistHighbladePaladinRanger and Sage. Salt and Sacrifice will provide the customisation that youโ€™d expect from a Salt game and then some.
