Infernax “Deux or Die” update to add new multiplayer mode

Original (2/28): Infernax is celebrating its first anniversary with a major new free content update known as “Deux or Die”. It will be available sometime this spring.

The update will include a new multiplayer mode that introduces an original character with two unique movesets. A second person can control Cervul the Squire, son of Harold, Unenthusiastic Heir to the Brown Mound.

Here’s some additional information about the update:

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 co-op 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.

Infernax previously added The Stranger as a new playable character. We have more information about that here.
