Blasphemous 2 is a Metroidvania action-adventure game taking place in the fictional region of Cvstodia.
Set many years after the Wounds of Eventide ending, worship for the Miracle had declined following the death of the High Wills and Escribar, and for a time, Cvstodia experienced an age without gods or the Miracle's influence. However, pain and suffering remained in the world, and people eventually began praying for a greater power to relieve their suffering, giving the Miracle an opportunity to return. The Miracle eventually gathered enough power to create a massive heart in the sky to birth a new child. To protect the heart, the Miracle resurrected its most loyal followers, the Archconfraternity led by the very first Penitent, Eviterno.
Afterwards, Crisanta attempted to put a stop to the Miracle's plans by slaying the child before it could be born, but she failed and commits suicide after being defeated by Eviterno. Meanwhile, Deogracias took charge of the Penitent One's coffin and guarded it until his death. The Miracle's return also served to resurrect the Penitent One, forcing him to continue his penance..
