Hey G-LYFE Nation, brace yourselves for a quiver full of updates! WIMO Games, the dev squad behind the co-op VR wave shooter Battle Bows, has locked and loaded a free DLC. This DLC isn’t just any ordinary update; it’s a full-fledged arsenal of new content for those looking to tighten their bowstrings.
Event Alert: Bow Showdown Invites Team Glory Quests
Gamers, it’s time to pick your squad! Battle Bows introduces the Bow Showdown recurring event where archers can join one of three teams in a quest for glory. Your performance in matches racks up team points, and as the heat turns up, so do enemy strength and defense buffs. Forget petty bragging rights; we’re talking about some substantial bonuses toward unlocking newly added talents. These talents are not just for show; they offer utility boosts like elemental power cooldown reductions, castle door reinforcements, and leaderboard point bonuses.
Enter Winter Keep: Frozen Tundra Now Open
Aesthetic alert: a new wintry world called Winter Keep brings some chills to the game. We’re talking about a kingdom illuminated by a stunning borealis, and landscapes that offer rugged, frozen pathways—over 40 new ones—for enemies to try and storm your castle. And speaking of defense, say hello to the kingdom’s four greatest defenders who’ll be guarding this icy wonderland.
Weapon Upgrade: Crossbow Grenade Launcher and Sticky Web
The DLC brings in the Demolition Kit, allowing archers to trade standard arrows for some explosive power. Players will now have a crossbow grenade launcher in one hand and a wrist-launched sticky web in the other. These weapons are not just for flexing; they’re your new best friends in area control, especially when the castle is swarmed by foes.
Crank Up the Difficulty: Legendary Mode Is Live
For those who think they’ve mastered Battle Bows, think again. The DLC rolls out a Legendary difficulty setting featuring 16 waves of enhanced, more challenging enemies. Prepare to face off against new adversaries like the Rocketeer, focused on breaking down your castle’s defenses, and the Warlock, casting protective shields around its allies. Oh, and let’s not forget the Legendary Badaboom Boss, who’s out to stun you with blobs of goo before hurling a bomb at your base.
PSVR2 Port in the Pipeline
Future’s looking bright, gamers! WIMO Games has confirmed they’re working on a Battle Bows port for PlayStation VR2. So if you’re in the PlayStation realm, you’ll soon get to experience this action-packed archery showdown.
Final Words from WIMO Games CEO
WIMO Games CEO Dave Rosen sums up the DLC as a “thank you” to all the gamers who’ve supported Battle Bows since its initial launch in July 2023. The new content nearly doubles what the game has to offer and paves the way for future VR titles from WIMO.
