‘Returnal: Ascension’ Gets 18-Minute Gameplay Walkthrough [Video]
Revealed last week, Returnal‘s upcoming DLC “Ascension” has received a new gameplay trailer that takes a look at the new Tower of Sisyphus. Well, it’s more of an 18-minute gameplay walkthrough for Ascension, featuring Returnal‘s game director Harry Krueger and narrative director Gregory Louden.
The Ascension update is set to arrive on March 22nd, and will introduce 2-player co-op to Returnal, along with the “endless mode” found in the Tower of Sisyphus. Each Phase in the Tower will culminate with an encounter with Algos, which will also get increasingly harder as you advance through the mode. The ultimate goal of the mode is the high score chase, although there will be a new boss, new items and some new story content.
Currently, Returnal is available exclusively for the PlayStation 5. And if you’re looking for more Returnal content, give a read to Wesley’s take on Returnal‘s roguelike gameplay.
Physical media fanatics can rejoice when it comes to The Chinese Room and publisher Secret Mode’s upcoming narrative horror game Still Wakes the Deep. Alongside the digital version of the game that’s set to launch on June 18 on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series, PlayStation owners will also be able to snag the physical version of Still Wakes the Deep on the same day.
Described as a welcome update for console players “whose greatest fear is the death of physical media,” the Still Wakes the Deep physical edition will be available from online and retail stores in North America and Europe. No word on if the Xbox Series will be getting the same treatment.
Sadly, there doesn’t appear to be any additional goodies with the physical disc. But, given that this guarantees you’ll have a copy of Still Wakes the Deep that you can pop into your console and play without the need to download it again, that’s a small price to pay.
Still Wakes the Deep takes place in 1975, where disaster has struck the Beira D oil rig off the coast of Scotland. You are one of the oil rig workers on the Beira D rig, fighting for his life through a vicious storm, perilous surroundings, and the dark, freezing North Sea waters. All lines of communication have been severed. All exits are gone. And something has snuck on board, leaving you to not only restore function to the rig, but also deal with the unknowable horror.
And keep an eye out for the upcoming mini documentary on Still Wakes the Deep, which is scheduled to arrive around April 30th.
