You may want to arrange a gathering with your nearest and dearest next week, as local multiplayer is very much back in vogue. Matt Thorson has announced that TowerFall's hotly anticipated Dark World expansion will be emerging from the gloom on the PlayStation 4 from 12th May, where it'll set you back $9.99.
"When we set out to create an update for TowerFall, we didn't expect to take it this far," Thorson wrote on the PlayStation Blog. "What started as a single new level set with a new archer ballooned into four level sets, ten archers, procedurally generated levels, a new co-op mode, boss battles, new power-ups, and more."
You can see many of these additions in the trailer embedded below, including the titular Dark World co-op mode. "Here you can revive your fallen teammates as you fight through the many stages of each Dark World portal, and every set is capped off with a unique boss battle," he continued. "The joy of taking down these hideous boss monsters with your friends is a satisfying counterpoint to the manic competition of versus mode."
Elsewhere, Thorson reiterated that the PlayStation Vita version of the game is very much still in development, with more details set to be announced soon. In the meantime, will you be returning to the wonderful world of TowerFall next week? Hit us in the heart in the comments section below.

Love Towerfall! I don't live with my friend anymore so I'll need to try and convince my otherhalf to play this with me instead.
Was looking at this earlier this morning and "Skytorn" was also bought to my attention, made by the Towerfall creator. Hadn't heard of it before but looks like it could be great:

Now THIS is an add-on. Really looking forward to it.
Yeah that anita sarkeesian insert I'm going to have to say no thanks.
This sounds like a crazy good addition to an already brilliant game! Definitely one of my favorite offerings to date.
@kyleforrester87 share play fixes that
I love towerfall! This looks like hyper speed gameplay though, don't know how to feel about this...
@wittypixel Dunno if that works between PS4 and XB1!! lol
@kyleforrester87 Tell him to man up & join us!! jk, but that sucks then. and sorry to derail but anyone know ETA on No Mans Sky?? dying for that game!!!
@wittypixel Man, I tell him every time I see him. He's a stubborn fool!!
Re no mans sky, no news it would seem. Strange since you wouldn't go a week without a news article this time a year ago. I really want a date for this and Hyper Light Drifter. Or just for them to commit to 2015 would be enough!
Role on E3!
I've been playing a LOT of Animal Crossing: New Leaf. I burned out about 6 months ago but this past week it's all I've played. It could give WoW a run for its money for being addictive!
Love Towerfall! Not far off platinum actually Consider this bought!
