DrinkBox Studios is looking to partner sun and humidity with singlets and Mexican wrestling, when it unleashes Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition onto Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4 and Wii U early next month.
After making his singlet-covered debut on Sony’s PlayStation 3 and PS Vita platforms back in April of last year, Guacamelee! has slowly worked his way towards a broader audience with his extended Super Turbo Championship Edition port. Now, it’s less than a month away from bringing its improvements and enhancements — plus an extended campaign — to all three next-gen consoles, as well as Microsoft’s venerable Xbox 360.
Read on for a full list of this new version’s added features:
- Expanded Story – An expanded version of the game that includes new content and all DLC from the original
- New Game Areas – Players will ride boats through the Canal of Flowers to save a besieged fishing town, and avoid lava as they climb through the fiery Volcano
- New Boss – Face off against the deadly Trio of Death, a three-headed skeleton that lives in the Volcano, who helps the evil Carlos Calaca build his skeleton armies
- New Abilities – Maximize destruction with the powerful new INTENSO combat mode and dish out scrambled pain with powerful Chicken Bombs. Plus, swap dimensions independently in co-op play using the new Shadow Swap ability.
- New Enemies – Lethal new elite-class enemies that want to chokeslam luchadores to sleep
- Support for multiple save slots
- Dual currency system that supports permanent item unlocks
Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition will slam onto North American PlayStation 4 consoles on July 1st, before hitting both Microsoft platforms and Nintendo’s Wii U the very next day. Look for it then, and expect to pay $14.99 if you wish to add it to your digital collection.
