It’s always gratifying to see a game you’ve followed closely find success and spark demand for more content.
That’s recently been the case for the beat ’em up roguelite Kiborg, which has just received its first paid DLC announcement.
Titled Descent and launching on April 30th, the paid expansion follows protagonist Morgan as he plunges into the depths of Omega-201 Tower in a final quest to unlock his freedom. The expansion is said to introduce three new legendary bosses, two additional difficulty modes for seasoned players, and ten horrifying new enemies from the depths.
The DLC will also launch alongside a massive new update for the base game which is teased to add new content and improvements.
I reviewed Kiborg when it first released on PS5 and was a big fan of its gory and fast-paced beat em’ up action, although it did have some rough edges. I concluded by saying: “If you’re a fan of punishing roguelites with a beat ’em up twist, I’d recommend giving Kiborg a shot.”
