Salt & Sacrifice is the sequel to Salt and Sanctuary, a game developed by the husband and wife team Ska Studios, James and Michelle Silva. Using a private passcode system, two players can complete the game's campaign cooperatively without being invaded. The invaded players can also recruit the help from Oathbound Watchers and Sheriff Inquisitors, who will assist them in combat. The Shroud Alliance will invade another player's session and hunt them down, while Blueheart Runners can summon enemies known as Haze Burnt to kill the hosting player.

Players can join different multiplayer factions. Unlike Salt and Sanctuary, the game has online multiplayer. They will gradually discover different shortcuts that allow them to transverse quickly, though the game does not have a fast travel option. Previously out-of-reach areas can be accessed once the player collects the necessary traversal items. The game features elements commonly seen in Metroidvania games. While the player is exploring the game's world, they will encounter hidden tomes which can be used to initiate Fated Mage hunts, hunts players can play through repeatedly in order to collect specific upgrades. Each weapon has its own unique skills and movesets. Each defeated mage will drop unique armor and weapons which can be used by the players. To progress in the game and unlock new areas players must devour Mage hearts and initiate Mage Hunts, in which the player character must chase down and defeat various boss characters. Instead of having one large map, the game's world is split into five separate zones. Similar to its predecessor, Salt and Sacrifice was inspired by the Dark Souls series of games.

As the sequel to Salt and Sanctuary, the game was released on May 10, 2022, for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Windows. Salt and Sacrifice is an action role-playing video game developed and published by Ska Studios.
