Slain 2: The Beast Within is a brutal gothic hack-and-slash where steel and savagery collide.

Take on the role of Prince Akran, last of the Wolf Knights, a blood-bound warrior imbued with the feral power of the Beast. Armed with Bathoryn, carve through monstrosities and wage war against the abyss itself. Vroll’s corruption festers in the land, an infection that must be purged in fire and steel.

 In the ongoing saga of the sentient sword Bathoryn and its many wielders, the battle rages on against the demonic forces of Lord Vroll, spanning the vast reaches of the galaxy.

The night is dark, and the hunt is endless. Prince Akran, the last of the Wolf Knights, wields Bathoryn and the fury of the full moon to reclaim a dying land.

The time for hesitation is over. Akran’s fate - and the fate of the kingdom - rests in your hands. The hunt begins now.

Will he rise, or will darkness claim all?
