NEW EDITION OF THE GAME INCLUDES FULL ACCESS TO ENDGAME AND CO-OP, MAX LEVEL BOOST, AND LEGENDARY GEAR
FRISCO, Texas (December 7, 2021) – Godfall: Challenger Edition launched on the PlayStation Plus and is free until December 31, Gearbox Publishing announced today. Players will be able to pick up the Godfall: Challenger Edition for free on PlayStation Plus now through December 31. It will also be available for free in the Epic Games Store for PC from December 9-16, 2021. Godfall: Challenger Edition can also be purchased directly for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and for Windows PC on the Epic Game Store for $14.99.
Godfall: Challenger Edition empowers players to jump into the entirety of Godfall’s Endgame as a standalone experience with other players or solo, and provides a plethora of features that makes the journey compelling. Players will have the ability to take on Godfall’s most challenging modes – Ascended Tower of Trials, Lightbringer & Dreamstones – unlock all 12 Valorplates, tackle 450 Ascension Levels, and find the best gear via the newly added Quests system.
“With the Challenger Edition, players can immediately tackle our most formidable endgame content, collect powerful loot, and construct their perfect build,” said Daniel Nordlander, game director at Counterplay Games. “This is an amazing opportunity for new players to join with the existing Godfall community and embrace the true power climb that awaits them. We can’t wait to share additional information on future Godfall updates coming to all of our players.”
In addition to allowing new players to jump directly into endgame content, Godfall: Challenger Edition and its corresponding free update also includes new features for existing players such as the new Quest System, an additional way to play that also provides players with legendary rewards.
When a player sets out on a Quest, they will be met with eight randomized objectives that may involve anything from combat to collecting to participating in one of the specific endgame modes. Players who complete these tasks and fill their Quest XP bar will be rewarded with three versions of a legendary item, enhancing Godfall’s existing character customization options. Alternatively, players can also opt to spend resources to duplicate and obtain new versions of items already in their inventory enabling them to more precisely target the gear they need to refine their build.
Players can expect more new content for Godfall in 2022, Gearbox Publishing confirmed earlier this month in a new roadmap. Updates include a new game mode, Valorplate gameplay improvements and other, yet-to-be revealed content and additions.
