New Update For Steam Version of ‘Death Stranding’ Adds ‘Cyberpunk 2077’ Content
If you were disappointed with the 5th anniversary celebrations for Kojima Productions leading to nothing significant announced (apart from Death Stranding enjoying a healthy discount from now until December 22nd), Kojima has fooled us again. It turns out now that in addition to the discount, PC owners of the game can now enjoy Cyberpunk 2077 content.
And it’s more than just cosmetics.
The newest patch updates Death Stranding to 1.05, allowing you to access new missions featuring Cyberpunk 2077 characters and lore, as well as access new equipment – both game-changing and cosmetic. You now have a new Hacking function that allows you to disable MULE sensor poles, stun enemies with Odradeks, and short circuit enemy vehicles.
In addition to that, you’ve also got the following goodies to deck out Sam in cyberpunk gear:
• Cyberpunk 2077-themed Reverse Trike vehicle.
• “Johnny Arm” modelled after Johnny Silverhand’s robotic arm that can be equipped and used in game.
• New holograms and a “Trauma Team” floating vehicle hologram for certain constructions.
• Several fashion items, including Johnny Silverhand’s sunglasses.
There’s no indication as to if/when this crossover will head to the PS4 version, but it’s in line with the Half-Life: Alyx crossover that was announced prior to Death Stranding hitting PC.
Retroware surprised everyone last year with the announcement that they’re working on a throwback beat-’em-up based on the Toxic Crusaders cartoon. Grab your mop and get ready: the side-scrolling beat ’em up game is heading our way later this year.
Toxic Crusaders is now available to preorder on Steam, with the game set for Fall 2024 release. Exact date TBA.
Developer and publisher Retroware has teamed up with Troma Entertainment to bring the characters from the 1991 cartoon “Toxic Crusaders” back, for an all-new, all-action beat ’em up for one to four players.
In the game, “When the evil Dr. Killemoff attacks, only one team of hideously deformed creatures of superhuman size and strength stands between him and his plans for global pollution: the Toxic Crusaders, Earth’s last, greatest and ugliest hope for survival! Battle across seven disgusting levels rendered in vibrant pixel art as you defend Tromaville from hordes of Radiation Rangers, mutated thugs and zombie chickens. The odds might be stacked against you but with awesome powers, a winning personality, and up to four-players on your side, the Smogulan Empire’s days are numbered!
“Choose from seven playable characters, including Toxie, No-Zone, Junkyard, Major Disaster, and Headbanger – plus, for the first time, play as Toxie’s musically “gifted” girlfriend Yvonne, and the mother of all mothers, Mrs. Junko, Toxie’s mom!”
Considering this is set in Tromaville, it’s a safe bet that we’ll see more Troma characters beyond the Crusaders here. Toxic Crusaders will also feature fully voice-acted motion comic cutscenes, featuring voice acting by TeamFourStar, industry veterans, and of course, Troma actors.
Check out the gameplay demo below for a closer look at the Toxic Crusaders in action.
Toxic Crusaders is coming soon to Xbox Series X + S, Playstation 4 + 5, Steam, Nintendo Switch, and the Epic Games Store. But you can wishlist on Steam in the meantime.
