Slain 2: The Beast Within Roars to Life on PC in 2025

Silver Lining Interactive and Steel Mantis are teaming up to unleash Slain 2: The Beast Within, a heavy-metal soaked pixel-art action platformer, on PC via Steam in 2025. The brutal successor to Slain: Back From Hell sees the return of the sentient sword Bathoryn and a brand-new hero ready to rip demons limb from limb.

Bathoryn Returns — and the Beast Awakens

Taking place in the same gnarly universe as the first Slain, The Beast Within puts you in the greaves of Prince Akran, the last of the Wolf Knights. Cursed (or blessed?) with the power of the Beast, Akran’s not just here to save the galaxy — he’s here to tear it to pieces.

Armed with Bathoryn, players will battle demonic hordes, godlike abominations, and their monstrous nature across three doomed quests. Whether you’re cleaving through abyssal warlocks or navigating cursed catacombs, Slain 2 promises a darker, bloodier descent into madness.

Key Features of Slain 2: The Beast Within

Bathoryn’s Bloodbath

Wield the iconic sentient sword across fire, ice, and pure annihilation as you chain brutal combos and counterattacks into pixel-perfect death.

Become the Beast

Unleash your inner lycanthrope to tear through enemies in a savage werewolf form. The full moon is calling — will you answer?

Three Quests, Three Paths to Doom

Sail ghost seas, storm ruined castles, and descend into the abyss itself to gather relics needed to confront the darkness.

Face the Dark Gods

Grotesque nightmares, witches, and cosmic terrors await in every twisted corner. This isn’t a world that wants to be saved.

Gothic Nightmare World

From the rotting streets of Wolftown to fog-choked highlands, Slain 2 is soaked in style and stained in blood.

Slain Lives On

Alongside Slain 2, Silver Lining Interactive has officially taken over publishing duties for Steel Mantis’ entire back catalog — including Valfaris, Valfaris: Mecha Therion, and the original Slain: Back From Hell. That means more support and more opportunities for fans to dive into Steel Mantis’ blood-splattered worlds.

The full moon is rising, and with it comes rage, steel, and pixelated carnage. Head to Steam and wishlist Slain 2: The Beast Within to stay in the loop.
