Cult of the Lamb Woolhaven expansion announced

Massive Monster unveils Woolhaven, a full-length premium expansion for Cult of the Lamb featuring a snowbound setting and new gameplay systems.

Cult of the Lamb expands with Woolhaven for PS5 PS4 in 2026

Woolhaven is described as a full-length premium expansion for Cult of the Lamb. The story unfolds in a snowy mountain region where players must rebuild a lost civilisation and protect the flock from freezing conditions.

Developers add two new dungeons with fresh enemies and bosses. A ranching mechanic lets players breed and farm creatures to supply resources for settlers and followers. The plot hints at a lost God calling from a distant mountain as players uncover the truth about the fallen lambs. Woolhaven is planned for an early 2026 release as paid DLC for Cult of the Lamb on PS5 and PS4.

Indie studios have shown a habit of extending a game's life through substantial post-launch expansions. Woolhaven follows a trend where a beloved, lighthearted title gets a serious, feature-rich add-on that preserves the original charm while broadening its systems. That approach can drum up renewed interest and draw in returning players who want a deeper experience without buying a new game.

Timing matters. A 2026 release places this expansion in a market where players expect solid value from premium DLC, especially on the PS5 and PS4 ecosystem. The risk is price sensitivity and potential DLC fatigue, but a thoughtful, well-implemented expansion could set a standard for indie titles looking to scale beyond their initial footprint.

Highlights

The flock grows larger, and the winter frontier could prove the title’s best chapter yet.
