Resogun ‘Defenders’ DLC launches next week, free ‘Challengers’ update out today

Free update includes challenges, feats, and more.

The Resogun ‘Defenders’ expansion pack first announced in early December will launch for PlayStation 4 next Tuesday, February 17 in North America and the next day in Europe for $4.99 / €4.99 / £3.99, Sony announced.

‘Defenders’ offers two new game modes:

Protector Mode – Sees you taking to the skies to defend one of the last human colonies remaining. Utilize all new power-ups including Super Boost, Teleport, and automatic city defences; take down the enemy and deliver as many of the last humans to each city in order to extend your grip on the planet. Protector Mode features an all new planet flip mechanic and environmental hazards such as volcanic meteors to avoid while fighting off the never-ending enemy invasion.
Commando Mode – Lets you play as the Last Human who was left behind. Stranded on a distant planet with only a mini-gun to defend him he takes the fight directly to the Sentients in the ultimate arcade revenge mode. Jump, boost and equip your favorite bandana as you aim to defend your home from waves of enemies, volcanic meteors and more in this all new mode. Commando Mode supports both cooperative and competitive multiplayer modes. Team up with a friend to fight the good fight or turn against each other to outsmart your opponent and destroy their house from under their nose. We’ve named the competitive mode Battle Mode and hope you have as much fun fighting it out with your friends as we have had here.

Additionally, the add-on includes a new set of trophies.

In preparation for the add-on, the Resogun ‘Challengers’ update will be made available to all players free of charge today. Described as the game’s “largest content update to date,” it includes a new system of player levelling achieved by earning Challenge Points as a reward for completing new challenges and feats across all existing game modes.

Here’s the full rundown:

Challenges – Task you with playing a specific level or game mode with different rules or modifiers designed to provide a new challenge. Can you rescue 200 humans in a single level if every enemy drops one, or better yet can you complete survival mode using the Super Stardust Ship? Challenges change things up and give everyone a reason to revisit all Resogun game modes for a new experience. Performing well will award Challenge Points which will advance your player level higher unlocking rewards and bragging rights.
Feats – These are long goals that are tracked across all game modes and award Challenge Points for achieving huge milestone goals. Have you rescued a cumulative 1,000 humans or just dodged 13 wrecking balls in Demolition Mode? There’ll be a Feat and reward for that. Only a true Resogun Hero can ever hope to achieve all the Feats but we’re sure you’ll have fun trying.
Human Gallery – Lets you organize and select your collected Human types.
Photo Mode – Allows you to pause and capture stunning screenshots of all the voxel based action exploding on screen.
New Trophies – New trophies to earn designed around the challenges and feats these will test the skills of even the finest Resogun pilots out there.
