Ready for more punishment? I hope so, because just moments ago during their latest State of Play show, Sony announced Returnal: Ascension, the game’s first major content update. Accension will add co-op to the mix, allowing you to play through the entire core game with a friend, as well as The Tower of Sisyphus, an extra-punishing multi-level tower (for those nutty folks who didn’t think Returnal was challenging enough). You can check out a trailer for Returnal: Ascension, below.
Here’s a bit more detail on what you can expect from Returnal: Ascension:
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…
Returnal is available now on PS5. Ascension arrives on March 22 as part of the free 3.0 update. What do you think? Eager to share the pain with a friend?
