🔥Co-op Demo is LIVE and that's not all!

[p]Hey Zodiac Challengers! Co-op Mode is officially live on the demo, and it’s exactly as chaotic as we promised! If you prefer running solo, don’t worry. This update comes with some treats for you too. ;)[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]Stay tuned! Our official co-op demo trailer drops on Nov 22 at 4 PM PST. [/h3][p]Why is it dropping later that the update, you ask? Because we're revealing it first on the OTK Games Expo happening @ 12PM PT today! 😉 You can also 'Set Reminder' to watch it albeit much later on our channel.[/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][hr][/hr][p][/p][h2]Co-op Mode is Up![/h2][p]You can now tackle the Zodiac Trials with up to four players online through public matchmaking or private parties.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Friendships may be tested. Trust may be strained. [/p][p]To support multiplayer runs, several systems have been expanded so your co-op runs feel like true group efforts, not four solo players sprinting in different directions. For example -[/p]

• [p]+20 new Jade Tree nodes dedicated to multiplayer[/p]
• [p]Lotto Chests that reward the luckiest of your squad[/p]

[p][/p][p][/p][h2]Twitch Integration[/h2][p]For streamers, Twitch Integration is live and now, your chat can decide your fate. BWAHAHAHAHAHA! They can now vote on your Trial modifiers, difficulty spikes, and other surprises. 
[/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p][/p][h2]Combat & Enemy Polish[/h2][p]Still missing that kapoosh when something massive hits you? We heard you.[/p][p]Hit feedback is now stronger across the board for both players and enemies. If Gronk slams you with its hammer or you step into an explosive plant, you’re getting launched.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Several enemy groups received updates as well:[/p]

• [p]Coinlets spawn fewer bubbles, but each bubble is larger and capable of knocking you back.[/p]
• [p]Imperial army units (Sentinel, Spearhand, Marksman, Swordbearer) now come with a new Elite ability and tighter polish.[/p]
• [p]Sand Wraith has a reworked attack mode that feels more slippery and more dangerous.[/p]
• [p]Bosses and mini-bosses also received upgrades. [/p]

[p][/p][hr][/hr][p][/p][h2]New Cosmetics[/h2][p]Lyra’s alt outfit from the community vote is finally ready, and dare we say, it looks great. Sylith’s original OG outfit is also back in the cosmetic pool, so you can brood in style while slicing through enemies.[/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p][/p][h2]Beta Language Support[/h2][p]To make our demo more accessible to players, we’re adding early versions of German, Portuguese, Spanish, French, Russian, Japanese and Korean. These translations are still a work in progress with some placeholders, so you will most likely encounter rough edges or the occasional odd phrasing. Your feedback will help us polish them as we get closer to our next milestone. [/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p][/p][h2]Balancing, Fixes, and General Improvements[/h2][p]By popular demand (you sadists!), Hard and Master difficulties are now significantly more punishing. Enemies hit harder, react faster, and demand sharper movement and decision making.[/p][p]If you’ve been waiting for a tougher climb, the gates are open. Step in and tell us… ARE YOU (still) NOT ENTERTAINED?[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]As always, there’s plenty more under the hood, from UI polish to VFX & SFX updates. The best way to enjoy it is to jump back in.[/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p][/p][p]Thank you for sticking with us, Challengers. Once you've tried the new update, let us know what surprised you, delighted you, or threw you across the map (or below it… T_T).
