WHEN!?

• “No timeframes since any timeframe more than two weeks out is likely incorrect, I'm not sure it would matter if we did. 🙂” -Question

VS Mode (Local/Online)

• A tense survival mode where players compete by indirectly attacking each another.

Chaos Mode (Local/Online)

• A specialized boss rush for 1 or 2 players. The mode includes randomized drops and special sub goals that will grant more equipment when completed. Collect the best, drop the rest as you build power to defeat all the bosses!

Some clarifications from Question:

Yes. Split screen.
Double miriams.
The co-op mode is not a playthough of the regular game.
No crossplay, if that's what you're asking.

Estimated/hoped for November sometime.

• Iga's Backpack

• Current order:
  1. Chaos+VS mode (free)
  2. Costumes (probably mix of pay/free)
  3. Classic Mode v2 (pay)
• Last update on the Roadmap was 2022-06-17. (And yes, it's completely outdated)
• The physical PC will release once all the DLC are complete. As per the KS they polled the users and the majority wanted a “complete” disc.

Two more major updates. The content from the previous roadmap still applies, just the timing is (obviously) different. Costumes are likely with the first update. CM2 will be its own update.

  • Latest roadmap

My own speculation for Chaos:

• Boss rush
• 1 or 2 player coop
• Randomized drops
• Sub goals for more gear
• Build power to beat all bosses
• Double Miriams

Rereading and putting these together, I've changed my opinions about what to expect.

So currently expecting either:

1. A linear line of rooms with mix of enemies/bosses.
2. A split multiple line with mix of enemies and one boss, that you have to beat in order and can then replay (similar to Den of Evil from CV:PoR)

With enemies/bosses dropping gear, probably a range tiered to the enemies/area you're fighting. This gear will most likely be completely separate from your full game savegame gear, and basically something you can reset each time you start this mode. Basically build up power through a run.

Not sure what shape the sub goals will take, I'd guess at specialized maps/areas where you can trigger traps or other mechanisms, even unlocking for more enemies to make it harder in order to gain more gear.

In coop, both players will play Miriam, and probably no other characters (as the balance would be out of whack). No idea how the loot would share between 2 miriams, they might have to compete for the same gear options.

Essentially, it sounds like this would like like a Randomizer mixed in with a boss rush, likely with some more common enemies inbetween to give more drop rates.
