Question: What new weapon would you expect to see for the guns-blazing, bullet-time-poweredTrepang2? That’s right, a sword! Well, believe it or not, it is what the communityhas been asking for. And it will get swords in the appropriately namedBladekisserDLC coming to Trepang2 in July.
Trepang2 – Bladekisseris the game’s second DLCand it launches on July 25. As mentioned, the DLC is bringing a katana to the fray, along with a couple of other not-swords, which my editor assures me are called guns.Bladekisserwill include more than weapons for those looking for additional content to play. The DLC can be purchased separately, but will be available for those who bought the Season Pass.
Trepang2DLC brings hack-and-slash sword action to the fight
As you can no doubt conclude from the trailer, the sword is a nasty bit of work inTrepang2. The game found its fame aping the likes ofFEAR, embracing bullet-time action with butt-sliding and face kicks. You probably wouldn’t think a sword fits into the mix, but the footage seems to speak for itself. Being able to slow time, slide around enemy backs, and belt out aHokuto no Kenone-liner before the killing blow definitely looks possible and pretty fun as well. The DLC will include the sword along with a new revolver and machine gun, for those enemies who are sadly out of your reach.
The DLC will also come packed with:
The new maps should test your sword-swinging skills. Omega Facility in particular sounds interesting, as it features a a raid on an ocean platform that’s “defended by a nuclear submarine.” Next month, you’ll know if you’re able to slice a torpedo in half using a sword.
Trepang2 – Bladekisserwill be available on July 25 for $7.99. As of this writing,Trepang2is on salefor 40%during theSteam Summer Sale.
