Free Returnal Update Adds Co-op + Game Mode

[Maxemole 91]

What do we think? I think the Tower looks sick and I was looking for a reason to return to this game after the platinum. Co-op is cool but I doubt I'll play the campaign again. Here's hoping there are trophies.

Looks like an endless tower / horde mode situation.  Definitely hope there's new trophies, would love a reason to come back and play this.

It looks like the tower expands on the story too which is awesome. I'm especially pleased since Housemarque said they're working on a new IP next.  Hope they don't forget about Returnal!

YESSSSS! can't wait to play!! 😍

I'm really looking forward to returning to this game but I'm worried about trophies related to progress in that tower. Those could be super challenging and I really hate those game modes.

Yeah if there are trophies I'd expect them to be difficult. Personally I'm excited about challenging trophies but they're not for everyone for sure.

Love that they are adding coop but honestly don't want new trophies, the platinum was troublesome enough.  I just wanna go in and shoot fools with other people, maybe even help some get the platinum.

I get what you mean, but at least this would be a separate set and not count towards the plat!

I'll take anything new for the game. And this looks really solid. Co-op is definitely a nice surprise. Just a shame you apparently can't co-op the new tower. But oh well.

It would be neat if you unlocked co-op after getting to a certain floor!

I haven’t played this game yet but I definitely want to at some point. But introducing co-op definitely makes this even more appealing for someone like me who hasn’t touched it yet. I like the idea of playing with a friend.

Need to go back and finish this. It's nice that it's coming this month.

So the platinum will be much easier because you can co-op now I guess?

 

I have a bad feeling they will add crazy hard trophies for the tower.

It affects the 100%, which is the goal/ more important.

I hope for new trophies. Let’s see on 22 March.

Co op trophies incoming

 

this is why we buy single player games, right? Right?

I'm an old gamer, carry me please. 😜

When Housemarque tweeted a tease about possibly more Returnal content, I said to myself, "I'm sure they're waiting for me to start the game before they announce anything".

I started Returnal 2 days ago. You're welcome.

Your efforts are appreciated.

Wondering how they're going to patch the game to accommodate the coop mode, I mean to save progress from both players, I hope is not saved just for the host. 

[yowzagabowza 790]

After reading the Blog article it sounds like the Tower will be the best part of the game in that it's not randomized.

I still haven't played this since I just got a PS5 a little bit ago and it's somehow still too expensive for me to buy. If they add co op trophies I'll probably just skip it entirely since I want that 100% and haven't played it yet anyway. Why the hell they felt the need to stick co op in this game I'll never know 🙄

According to the PlayStation Blog progress will be saved for the host like in Souls. Joining players will still keep any logs and such that they find, but game progression appears to be for the host only.

Ok,   Thanks for answer

This made my day. I can't wait to play Tower of Sisyphus. I got to boot up the game again and start making runs so I get my groove back before this update comes out. I never deleted this game off my PS5. I couldn't bring myself to do it lol and it's been locked to the home screen in fact since the firmware beta update. Game meant so much to me playing it last year.
