Monster Train 2: The Punished adds a risk-reward clan on November 10
Shiny Shoe's next paid DLC introduces fallen angels, the Monolith and a resource-sacrifice strategy, while new platform versions are also planned.
Monster Train 2 is preparing another playable clan. The Punished is scheduled for November 10, 2026 as paid downloadable content. Instead of simply adding a different visual theme, it asks players to give up resources and accept damage in exchange for stronger combat options.
Archus leads the fallen angels, whose strategy revolves around the Monolith. Players can sacrifice cards to build Devotion and activate Zeal effects. Deciding which tools to surrender, and when, becomes central to maintaining a viable deck through difficult waves.
Shiny Shoe has also discussed versions of the base game for Nintendo Switch 2, iOS and Android before the end of 2026. Those platforms do not yet have a specific release date and should not be confused with the confirmed DLC announcement.
The strategic trade-off
The Monolith rewards deliberate deck management, not indiscriminate sacrifices. Giving up a card can strengthen a future turn but leave fewer answers to an immediate threat.
The announced US price is $7.99. Local prices and taxes need to be checked in the relevant store before purchase.
