Infernax ‘Deux or Die’ update launches this spring, adds multiplayer mode and new character
Tackle the game's story in simultaneous two-player action.
Publisher The Arcade Crew and developer Berzerk Studio will release the “Deux or Die” update for action adventure game Infernax this spring, which adds a new multiplayer mode and an original character with two unique movesets.
Here is an overview of the update, via The Arcade Crew:
The upcoming update allows Infernax‘s gory quest to be tackled in simultaneous two-player action (or in a hot-swappable single player mode if you prefer to battle on your own), rebalancing the entire game for dual-hero fights. It also introduces a new character into the fray: Cervul the Squire, a well-rounded lad who sports deadly talents in both throwing axe and tool-assisted combat. Cervul the Squire’s abilities to perform various attacks and buffs grant advantages to either or both players, and he has a heart of gold – unless you decide to follow the evil mortality path that is, in which case players will unlock an entirely different side of his skills. Playing the evil path will bring about an emphasized focus on dealing damage with distinct tools and a more… explosive playstyle.
Infernax‘s spring content will also incorporate cooperative play in its fan-favorite gun mode, perfect for players keen on wielding maximum firepower against the game’s monstrous beasts. This Contra-style homage is unlocked through the classic “Konami” code – and with the addition of a second sharpshooter, will now feature a redesigned starting screen that old-school players will find instantly recognizable.
The upcoming update will follow 2022’s debut of “The Stranger,” Infernax‘s previous free content update which added a playable character inspired by classic horror pop culture. The Stranger wields a distinct arsenal of their own, turning beasts into a bloody gore with a devastating shotgun and an arsenal of blunt objects—all while donning a retro hockey mask, of course.
Infernax is available now for Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC via Steam.
