While speculation suggested an imminent arrival of Arrowhead’s latest Warbond, it seems something even more substantial is on the horizon. The highly anticipated “Escalation of Freedom” arrives on August 6th, marking a significant milestone as the first major update for the cooperative shooter, and bringing with it a wealth of new content. Watch the announcement trailer now.
The brand new content introduces fresh enemy types, including the revival of The Impaler among the Terminids and a formidable artillery tank for the Automatons. A brand-new challenge, Helldive, is incoming, featuring an unprecedented number of formidable foes. In the vast expanse of this immersive gaming experience, players are likely to stumble upon sprawling outposts and imposing fortresses, posing a formidable challenge to their survival skills. While completing challenging trials at Arrowhead may prove arduous, the promise of attractive rewards awaits those who successfully complete these demanding endeavors.
An eerie iteration of the Swamp environment is forthcoming, while the Acid Storm’s effects are revamped to simultaneously erode the armor of both players and foes. While the original aim is to retrieve and extract larvae, it’s crucial to address the pressing issue of Termite infestations that are causing concern. The Arrowhead fleet is hinting at potential developments within the Galactic Conflict, as Automatons persist in constructing and “irregular readings” emanate from Terminal spores across multiple sectors.
Despite a few missing pieces, there are still plenty of surprises in store; stay tuned for more! Available now on PS5 and PC. What are you looking to evaluate?
