Confirmed Cult of the Lamb: Woolhaven platforms

This expansion will be available on Nintendo Switch, PC, Xbox, and PlayStation.

Woolhaven is being described as a “huge” and “full-length” expansion in official marketing materials, and based on how much has been seen since its Gamescom Opening Night reveal, this feels like a fitting summary. 

The expansion should offer bags of new content, along with an intriguing story that’ll add more depth to the existing world. 

Cult of the Lamb: Woolhaven trailer & gameplay analysis

The Cult of the Lamb: Woolhaven trailer doesn’t show too much gameplay, but what it does reveal seems incredibly promising. The teaser trailer shows several intense boss battles, alongside a cult getting battered by the elements atop the main mountain. 

Players will have a score of new threats to battle against, including a ferocious wolf and his pack, restless spirits, and Rot-corrupted creatures. There’ll be two new dungeons to dig into, with bitterly cold, snowy themes. 

The snow will play a crucial part in Woolhaven, as the flock will be susceptible to frostbite and famine, adding extra depth to the already excellent survival-management aspect of Cult of the Lamb.

There’ll be a new feature to help players keep their flock in good spirits – ranching. The ranching mechanic will allow for gathering wool and breeding rare animals, and even harvesting meat if the conditions get rough enough.

What is Cult of the Lamb about?

If you’re unfamiliar with the main game, Cult of the Lamb is a cult management simulator that combines elements of dungeon-crawling roguelikes and detailed base-building to create an occult experience like no other.

The story of the expansion revolves around Ynga, the forgotten god of the lambs, and Woolhaven itself, the spiritual home of the lambs. 

Cult of the Lamb: Woolhaven looks like a behemoth of an expansion, set to come out in early 2026. It’ll be available on Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation, and Xbox, and it’ll offer plenty of new content for players to lose themselves in, including new dungeons and enemies, a ranching system, and a seemingly mesmerizing story.
