Remedy’s spooky-ooky sci-fi shooter Control final evening added the promised Expeditions mode, launched in the course of The Game Awards, sending Jesse to struggle via difficult fight arenas. That’s the form of bother you’ll get into once you go touching a cursed magical jukebox. If you need extra spooky locations to discover, a brand new method to get loot, and a complete lot of recent violence, that is for you. If you need extra story, you’ll want to attend for the paid story expansions to start out rolling. Remedy additionally introduced that the primary of these is approaching March 26th.
Expeditions are 25-minute timed challenges to clear 4 sections of spooky Black Rock area, finishing aims like discovering gadgets and capturing factors. Three issue tiers are in, every throwing in random modifiers that have an effect on the motion – some useful, some dangerous.
You must feed that cursed jukebox tokens to play, which will be crafted, earned by finishing Bureau Alerts or Board Countermeasures, and acquired as rewards from Expeditions. Higher tiers value extra – and if you happen to fail the Expedition, the jukebox retains your money.
“We’ve designed this to be the most challenging content in the game, so make sure your abilities are upgraded and that you’ve brought the best mods and the strongest Service Weapon forms with you,” Remedy say.
See Remedy’s Expeditions launch announcement and FAQ for extra on this. See the Update 1.0.6 patch notes for particulars on a number of fixes within the replace too.
I’m into Control extra for the supernatural spectacle and the cheery chatter than the fight. It’s enjoyable when Jesse is flying round casually squishing mooks with desks, however bosses specifically could be a tedious slog – or randomly a whole walkover. I’ll watch for the brand new story adventures coming in paid DLC.
The first enlargement is The Foundation, due March 26th. Remedy previously said it “will take Jesse into a new area of the Oldest House, the Investigations Sector, where the Bureau closely examines Altered World Events.” The second enlargement, AWE, seems to be like it could have extra Alan Wake, Remedy’s spooky novelist who makes a number of appearances in Control.
