It\u2019s set in Black Iron Prison, a deep space penitentiary where the shit really hits the fan after a full-blown outbreak has created a terrifying mob of bloodthirsty monsters. You\u2019re an expendable prison guard with one mission \u2013 find the last escape pod and get the hell out of there.<\/p>\n<p>This is a passion project for our team between AAA releases. We\u2019re huge fans of roguelikes and wanted to put our stamp on the genre, with a vibrant comic-book-inspired style, and a high-energy, futuristic punk rock vibe.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve already talked about a few of the innovative new gameplay features we\u2019ve added, like \u201cRivals\u201d and \u201cFight Your Last Corpse.\u201d But of course, we\u2019ve saved a few surprises for the end.<\/p>\n<p>Today, we wanted to tell you about a devious ultra-hard mode called \u201cThe Watcher Run.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Watcher Run\u201d is a completely optional endgame playthrough for the hardest of the hardcore out there. It\u2019s the only way to unlock the final pieces of the story in <em>[REDACTED]<\/em>, and is the ultimate test of your skill, strategy, and sanity.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll unlock dossier filers for each Rival you encounter in the game as you battle through Black Iron Prison. Each completed dossier scores you a code used to unlock a mysterious Vault in the escape pod bay at the end of the prison.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/10\/REDACTED_XBW_Pass-Key_Image-9e5d73e623c1d4b49560.jpg\" alt=\"Redacted game screenshot\" class=\"wp-image-205198\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/10\/REDACTED_XBW_Pass-Key_Image-9e5d73e623c1d4b49560.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/10\/REDACTED_XBW_Pass-Key_Image-9e5d73e623c1d4b49560-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/10\/REDACTED_XBW_Pass-Key_Image-9e5d73e623c1d4b49560-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/10\/REDACTED_XBW_Pass-Key_Image-9e5d73e623c1d4b49560-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\"><\/figure>\n<p>Once you secure all eight codes and reaches the vault next to the escape pod, you have the option to unlock \u201cThe Watcher Run.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And here\u2019s where things get interesting.<\/p>\n<p>If you choose to take on this challenge, you\u2019ll assume the role of \u201cThe Watcher.\u201d Playing as the \u201cThe Watcher\u201d has its perks \u2013 you\u2019ll wield a cattle prod and the Plasma Gun, a new and powerful ranged weapon. \u00a0Otherwise, it\u2019s simple \u2013 you have to make one last run through Black Iron facing off against every boss and rival from start to finish \u2013 without dying.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/10\/REDACTED_XBW_Watcher_Image-62c4531f282a0f7b5888.jpg\" alt=\"Redacted game screenshot\" class=\"wp-image-205199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/10\/REDACTED_XBW_Watcher_Image-62c4531f282a0f7b5888.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/10\/REDACTED_XBW_Watcher_Image-62c4531f282a0f7b5888-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/10\/REDACTED_XBW_Watcher_Image-62c4531f282a0f7b5888-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/10\/REDACTED_XBW_Watcher_Image-62c4531f282a0f7b5888-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\"><\/figure>\n<p>Don\u2019t worry, The Watcher isn\u2019t just a guy with a big shiny gun and cattle prod. He has a unique ability to exit any room that doesn\u2019t include a boss or Rival encounter before it\u2019s cleared.\u00a0 This speeds the run up and reduces your exposure to combat, but it costs you the ability to unlock upgrades along the way. Which is a real high-risk scenario, because there\u2019s a catch.<\/p>\n<p>If you die, you\u2019ll lose every upgrade you\u2019ve purchased.

As a modest prison guard your job is simple \u2013 get to the last escape pod and get out alive.  <\/p>\n<p>But you aren\u2019t the only survivor looking to escape. Your rivals \u2013 a deranged custodian, a violent gangster, a maniacal lunch lady, and more \u2013 can\u2019t wait to step over your corpse and save themselves. <\/p>\n<p>Only one of you can make it off the moon \u2013 make sure it\u2019s you! <\/p>\n<p>FIGHT\/DIE\/ADAPT <\/p>\n<p>Each death is a learning experience. Starting fresh each run, build up your loadout with powerful experiments, weapon schematics, and buffs to battle through Black Iron. When you die (and you will die), use your hard-earned loot to purchase new permanent weapons, suits, and skills. Get stronger, experiment with your strategy, and get out!   <\/p>\n<p>ROUT YOUR RIVALS <\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re not the only person to survive the initial outbreak or willing to use a bit of violence to get to the last escape pod. Some prisoners and even your correctional services colleagues are just as eager to escape and will make escaping harder by attacking you remotely or challenging you to a one-on-one duel. Race them, attack them back remotely, and fight them to the death to make it out in one piece. <\/p>\n<p>FIGHT YOUR LAST CORPSE <\/p>\n<p>When you die, you leave more than a coverall-clad carcass. Defeat the reanimated corpse of the last guard to succumb to the prison\u2019s dangers to earn a powerful experiment. But beware, it\u2019s not going to be an easy fight. The semi-alive guard has the same loadout they had when they met an untimely end and a few extra tricks up its sleeve to keep things spicy. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cGAME OVER, MAN\u201d<br \/>\nYou\u2019ve made the perfect build, battled through bosses, ran through rivals, killed your corpse, found all the files, and now you\u2019re standing in front of that last escape pod. Sure, you could leave it all behind for the sweet taste of freedom\u2026 or risk it all in one last hardcore do-or-die run back through the prison. Fail and you lose all your purchased gear, skills, suits, and weapons.  But IF you succeed, you\u2019ll unlock new powerful permanent gear. <\/p>\n<p>FUTURE PUNK <\/p>\n<p>An irreverent attitude, unique presentation, vivid graphic novel style, and a 180bpm original arcade-punk soundtrack by Mutato Muzika enhance [REDACTED]\u2019s sci-fi setting and fast white-knuckle action.
