Tormented Souls 2 gets a major update adding tons of new content

Classic survival horror fans looking to test their skills even further have been rewarded with a major free update for Tormented Souls 2, which launched today on Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Epic Games Store! Centred around a challenging ‘New Game Plus’ mode, additional content includes more enemies, deadly new weapons, a special ending, and even a bonus costume for iconic heroine Caroline Walker.



Having reached the impressive milestone of over 100,000 units sold within the first 6 weeks of release, Tormented Souls 2 also finished off 2025 strongly with 9 award nominations, including:

Game of the Year at The Horror Game Awards

Best Latin American Indie at the Indie Game Awards

Horror Game of the Year at the LATAM Indie Awards

Standout release at the Latin American Games Showcase: The Game Awards Edition

To celebrate these achievements, the team at Dual Effect have released a new ‘Accolades Trailer’ showcasing Caroline at her finest, set against the epic end-credits track ‘Open Your Heart’ by series composer NyxTheShield.

Unlocked immediately after completing the game for the first time, ‘New Game Plus’ ratchets up the tension by increasing both the enemy count and adding even more jumpscares! Fortunately for Caroline, this mode also introduces two new weapons. The ‘Electric Lance’ is an experimental device that delivers a lethal shock at close range, while the highly volatile ‘Flamethrower’ sets Caroline’s enemies ablaze in spectacular fashion!

While playing through ‘New Game Plus’, Caroline should keep a close eye out for ‘Nuclear Batteries’. These twelve collectable items are scattered across Villa Hess, and rumour has it that collecting them all will unlock the secret of the strange mechanical device that has mysteriously appeared in front of the town’s ruined Train Station. But there’s more! By achieving the ‘true’ ending of ‘New Game Plus, ’ players will be treated to a special ending that pays homage to the series’ classic survival horror roots.

To reflect the challenge of the mode, Caroline has been given a ‘New Game Plus’ specific bonus costume, which really emphasises her excellent ‘bone structure’. Players can find this fun outfit in the wardrobe of the Convent Guest Room upon starting a ‘New Game Plus’ playthrough.
