Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition Will Launch In Early July

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.
