The next big update for Returnal brings us more to experience including a way to play Returnal in co-op
The next massive update is coming for Returnal and it looks like it is going to add in some interesting new features to the game. Interesting in the fact that Housemarque have been going hard to bring it all to us and give us an even better PS5 title to enjoy but also that it will give us all a multiplayer aspect to the game. It will be in the terms of Co-Op, but it is still adding in some of that fun for Returnal. Fun that we only have to wait until March 22nd to get into our hands or download to our systems to enjoy. Not too shabby for just owning a game and sticking with it for as long as it has been out there.
That is not all, though, as it looks like we will have one more mode added into Returnal when this next big update comes out. The Tower of Sisyphus will be unlocked in the game for those that have made it to a specific section of the game. This will add in a new gauntlet of trials to fight through and ascend the levels of the tower. Each with new and increasing challenges from all over the Returnal setting. Reaching all the way up to twenty floors before you can gloat that you have overcome all of the challenges to the world out there. That is a massive thing for those that enjoy these kinds of games, so I also applaud the work the team has put into all of this once more.
Returnal — Ascension
Join Selene, still trapped in an endless cycle — but this time, no longer alone.
Returnal: Ascension adds Co-op Mode, allowing you to share your entire journey through the shifting labyrinth of Atropos with another player.
This update also adds The Tower of Sisyphus — accessible as long as you’ve unlocked the Icarian Grapnel. It’s an ascending gauntlet of increasingly dangerous phases, with each containing twenty floors. Upon entry, eliminate all the enemies on each floor and secure your passage to the next one up. Just be ready for what you might encounter within…
Are these the modes that you have been waiting to see in Returnal or will they just be something that is played once or twice by you? Will there be anything more than clout for getting to the top of the tower or will there be something truly hidden up there? Do you think this will be the end of the massive updates for the game or will we see more down the line as they gear up for their next massive project? Let us all know down in the comments and then feel free to discuss it all if you so wish. More for Returnal will be coming, so keep an eye on the site for all of that and much more out there.
