More fun is headed players’ way this summer for eldritch shooter Blood West, as New Blood Interactive and developer Hyperstrange have announced a June 3 release date for the Scavengers DLC. The DLC adds the long awaited endless roguelite mode to the game, where players will be put to the test to survive as they meet familiar friends and old foes.
This isn’t your typical roguelite, however. Instead of one main character, players will inhabit different characters called scavengers, looking to make their fortune from the changes occurring out in the Barren Lands. You’ll take on contracts, earn money, buy better equipment, unlock new traders with new missions and challenges. The goal is to keep the cycle going for as long as you can. If you die, you start as a new scavenger, but you’ll keep your progression and unlocks to make your next start a bit easier, and always more interesting.
Players will be able to re-visit the main game maps, but will be faced with randomized enemy types and loot placement. Not to mention some new locales that beg to be explored. Add to that, you’ll have access to ten new weapons, six new craftable artifacts, treasure hunting, collectible figurines that grant bonuses, and more.
