Co op, new weapons, new house sequences, and what looks like an endless mode! All for free!

Well I thought I was out after getting the platinum but this state of play announcement has me very excited!

This is awesome news and what I’ve been waiting for. The coop mode might help out those that were struggling solo as well.

@render Time to dust off the Hollowseeker mate!

Amazing news, and great to hear the update is free also. Not played since around Sept/Oct... so will definitely need to brush up my skills ha

This was essentially the only interesting item from SoP for me, really glad to see it in there

@CJD87 I felt the same, nothing else really interested me but this... It's actually a shame it's coming so soon as I definitely won't have finished ER by then but I'm really really keen to get back to Atropos. The endless mode looks like it could be really fun and infuriating 😀

@lolwhatno You need a PS5 in your life, this game should not be missed.

@render For sure, ER is practically a gaming 'marriage'!

But I will definitely bounce off ER slightly to enjoy what Atropos has to offer.... I will definitely need to 'gid gud' again though, kind of dreading it but excited in equal measure! We should definitely do a co-op session together once we both get back up to scratch ha

@CJD87 Hey yeah that would be great, once we are at least half way gud again 😅

I'm thinking I'll probably end up doing the same regarding putting ER down for a bit just to get some Returnal goodness back in my life. My wife was actually a bit gutted that the coop wasn't couch coop but it's a good excuse to get another PS5.

Looking forward to endless mode. Id jump in on March 22nd, but ER has me hooked and I have CK3 pre-ordered starting March 29th. However I may dabble just a bit as this game is amazing as well.

@Elodin I actually booted Returnal up again last night for a 30-min quick run... and wow, I'd forgotten just how gorgeous it is.

I'm currently playing ER also (hooked on this, like the rest of the world ha) - and of course there are slight 'graphical concessions' due it not being next-gen exclusive etc, and this only serves to make Returnal look even more incredible in comparison.

I'm not slamming ER here, I genuinely love it, but Returnal really was/is something special. Bring on the DLC, can't wait

@CJD87 i couldn't agree with you more on both counts.

@Elodin @CJD87

Agreed also.ER is something else for scope and freedom of choice.Returnal was/is something very special.I hope the dlc sparks a bit of interest in games media and the many people who missed it as they didnt have a PS5 at release pick it up..

Booted this up last night for a quick skill check and three things:

1) The action in this game is crazy fast, I'd just forgotten just how full on the action is and how quick Selene moves

2) I'm bad but not as bad as I thought I was going to be

3) The dreadbound is not a good weapon to pick up on your first go back when shooting at things in the distance 😂

Can't wait for the DLC to drop today!

@velio84 Yeah that's exactly what it's like. It's also shown exactly how bad my controller has got with stick drift as I'd reduced the dead zone of the left stick when I last played but had to up it again as Selene was running in all directions by herself.

@render I'm actually going to sit on this and not return until I've completed my first playthrough of ER!

I did a similar 'skill check' at the weekend, and I honestly I don't think I will manage double-dipping the Lands Between alongside Selene.... the differences are just far too jarring!

Both great games though. This might get me shot, but I still believe Returnal is one of the greatest video games of all time (even pre-patch) and it still beats ER for me. ER is awesome, but Returnal still feels like something completely fresh/new/exciting. Not to say ER isnt any of those things, but many of the mechanics and gameplay nuances will be familiar to Souls-fans already

Short story = great time to be a gamer!

@CJD87 I'm in total agreement, it's one of if not my favourite game of all time. There's just something about it, like it's not too complicated and the gameplay is the thing that matters most, but also the environments and the action all work together in unison. I love ER too, don't get me wrong, but Returnal will always be something special to me. You are right about it being jarring but I think I'm going to have a blast every now and then on the tower just to see how I get on and hopefully the difference between this and ER won't be a hinderance.

@WizzNL Cheers for the notify!
