‘The Pursuit’ Delivers Impressive Weapon Upgrades,
Unique Perks and Powerful Defense Tower Additions
Popular independent development studio Coffee Stain studios has announced the third DLC for Sanctum 2. The mixture of firs-person shooter and tower defense game play will have its expansion release on October 25 for steam.
In Sanctum 2: The Pursuit, gamers will hunt down the enemy from the end of the second DLC – Ruins of Brightholme – where they will discover powerful new weapons, new tower options, perks, and more to be announced in the upcoming DLC.
“We had a lot of fun developing this segment of the Sanctum 2 storyline,” said Anton Westberg, CEO of Coffee Stain Studios. “With The Pursuit, we wanted to make it even more action oriented as players chase down an arch enemy. I think the thrilling hunt combined with the cool new options make this one of the more entertaining DLC updates.”
The main features of the game include:
- Rad Weaponry – Take advantage of two new weapons: Grenade Launcher and Drone Launcher. The Grenade Launcher fires bouncing explosives that includes a cluster grenade option while the Drone Launcher sends smart aerial drones to attack enemies in a swarm of laser fire or a “suicide option” where drones crash into foes for explosive damage.
- Towers of Power – Two new towers power-up the available defensive options. The Friendship Laser fires a single-shot laser and will also channel laser power to neighboring Friendship Laser towers, amplifying damage against monsters. The Mind Control Spire changes enemies into allies that attack other monsters for a few seconds.
- Tougher Opposition – New adversaries include the aggressive and highly armored Heavy Pup and the flying Bliskeblaske that changes when taking damage into a more hardened, defensive form.
- Sweet Perks – Seven new perks give gamers additional skills including the ability to call for defensive shield reinforcements, increased damage when firing next to a tower, and the lightning “Zeus Module” that dramatically upgrades tower damage.
- Four Additional Maps – Each of the four new map levels are introduced with their own comic book style pages, giving players a deeper view into The Pursuit story.
Sanctum 2: The Pursuit will be available on PC via Steam for $4.99, but fans can receive a discount with the season pass for $11.99 where they will receive all previous updates and access to the final DLC. The game is now available for $14.99 on PC, Xbox Live, and Playstation Network. For the latest news visit www.coffeestainstudios.com.
