Ghostrunner will add its promised Wave Mode and Assist Mode on August 31, alongside a new pack of neon-themed cosmetics.
Announced earlier this year, Wave Mode adds a roguelike element to the cyberpunk action game, tasking players with beating 20 waves of enemies using randomised upgrades. Assist Mode will make the game easier, allowing players to experience the story without much challenge. Both modes will be added as a free update to the game.
They'll come alongside the new Neon Pack paid DLC, which adds four sets of sword-and-glove combos, each fully animated with neon effects. Alongside the Neon Pack, four new DLC bundles will also be released:
- Art Bundle – SRP: £5.99 / €7.99 / $7.99 – The Art Bundle includes the Original Soundtrack and the Artbook (Available only for Steam, Epic and GOG)
