A gameplay video has been released today for Returnal: Ascension, which appeared at the State of Play event, which was announced at the last minute last week and held exclusively for Japanese producers.
Returnal: Ascension gameplay trailer released
We get an even better preview of what’s in the expansion in the roughly 19-minute gameplay video. To better explain the unfolding events, you can watch a preview of the content we’ll see in the Tower of Sisyphus in the Ascension update, in the video below.
The Tower of Sisyphus is a name given to this new content added in the Ascension update. In the statements made, it was announced that we would work to move to the next level. Like other mods of this genre, you’ll fail in the end as the tower you’re climbing doesn’t literally have an end, but if you’ve been playing Returnal even a little while before this update’s release, you’re already well acquainted with the construction.
As you progress through the tower, you’ll be able to track your best runs, highest stats, and achievements throughout the endless challenge. Housemarque promises to be a little different each time from the last, as the tower’s floors are procedurally generated, meaning you’ll have to encounter a different variety of enemies, treasure rooms, and environments each time.
In a PlayStation Blog post published when the update was announced, Krueger shared some details about the multipliers mentioned in this video, as well as the developer’s arcade-y roots. Players will need to practice a lot in the Tower of Sisyphus if they want to continually raise their score and beat their past progress.
