Latest Returnal Patch Sees Difficulty Adjustments for Tower of Sisyphus

2 years ago

If you have not yet had the chance to try out the award-winning roguelite that is Returnal, now might be the best chance to do so. Having recently gotten a gigantic free update that added co-op and a new mode in Tower of Sisyphus to challenge players, developer Housemarque has now rolled out a new patch that brings even more improvements to the shooter.

The update will require 1.3GB of space and is all about finding the right balance for the Tower of Sisyphus mode. Unfortunately, the patch notes do very little in letting players know exactly what was changed to rebalance things.

However, if you are still curious about what has been tweaked in this latest patch for Returnal, here are the relevant details:

  • Tower of Sisyphus: Added Audio Logs to new locations in the tower
  • Tower of Sisyphus: Fixed a rare issue where Algos might refuse to die, or die too early in the tower
  • Tower of Sisyphus: Increased leaderboard scrolling speed
  • Co-Op: Fixed several issues where a client or host might encounter a black screen or hang when moving between biomes during co-op play
  • Co-Op: Fixed multiple minor gameplay bugs
  • Co-Op: Fixed two rare crashes in co-op mode
