Slain 2: The Beast Within – the spiritual successor to Altered Beast returns with bloody pixel action

The game is a tribute to classics like Altered Beast and Rastan

For fans of pixel art and old-school action, there is good news: Slain 2, the sequel to the cult favorite Slain: Back From Hell, will be released in 2026 on Steam. The game is a tribute to classics like Altered Beast and Rastan, featuring bloody combat, a heavy metal soundtrack, and lots of brutal action. Developed by Steel Mantis and published by Silver Lining Interactive, the game will be available exclusively on Steam in 2026. The game is set in a dark, gothic world controlled by the evil Lord Vroll. You play as Akran, cursed with the power of the Beast: under the full moon, you transform into a ferocious werewolf. You seamlessly switch between your human form, wielding the Bathoryn sword for precise strikes, and your beast form, which relies on brutal claw attacks and fast movements. The sword Bathoryn is not just any weapon; it has magical powers that allow you to enhance attacks with fire, ice, or pure magic, adapting your tactics to every enemy. Slain 2 tells its story through three interwoven quests: The Eye, The Heart, and The Dagger. Each quest takes place in unique atmospheric environments, from stormy fortresses and tall castles to eerie coasts and dark catacombs filled with gruesome enemies. You battle with evil gods, night champions, and dark sorcerers out to stop you. The game stands out with its rich pixel art style that brings everything to life, from decaying streets to misty hills. Alongside this, the metal-inspired soundtrack adds a raw edge that perfectly supports the action. Slain 2 promises the perfect blend of classic action and modern twists for fans of the first game and newcomers alike. Get ready for a hellish journey full of steel, blood, and beastly rage.
