Question: What new weapon would you expect to see for the guns-blazing, bullet-time-powered Trepang2? That’s right, a sword! Well, believe it or not, it is what the community has been asking for. And it will get swords in the appropriately named Bladekisser DLC coming to Trepang2 in July.
Trepang2 – Bladekisser is the game’s second DLC and 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. Bladekisser will 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.
Trepang2 DLC 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 in Trepang2. The game found its fame aping the likes of FEAR, 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 a Hokuto no Ken one-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:
- Two new missions
- TF63 command center and Omega Facility
- Nine more maps for the combat simulator
- Three high-value targets
- Ten new intel documents
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 can slice a torpedo in half using a sword.
Trepang2 – Bladekisser will be available on July 25 for $7.99. As of this writing, Trepang2 is on sale for 40% during the Steam Summer Sale.
