La-Mulana 2 – The Tower of Oannes DLC announced

It’s been practically three years for the reason that launch date of the powerful, Metroidvania-like La-Mulana 2. After that type of stretch, any hope for extra content material could be dwindling. However worry not, pricey adventurers. La-Mulana 2 – The Tower of Oannes DLC has been introduced, and there’s already a trailer with a little bit of gameplay.

Particulars on the brand new DLC are sparse, however the newly minted Steam web page affords a bit to chew on. La-Mulana 2 – The Tower of Oannes DLC consists of a brand new map, that includes the titular tower. In keeping with what’s written on the web page, the map might be equal in problem to Hell Temple. Having not performed the sport myself, I can solely assume this revelation is fairly important. I imply, it’s known as Hell Temple. There’s no approach a map with that identify will deal with you to flowers and pet canine kisses. Until it’s Cerberus, however I is perhaps considering an excessive amount of on this.

“The tribes that have been meant to have gone extinct have been found dwelling within the ruins of Eg-Lana, the backdrop for La-Mulana 2,” reads the sport’s description. “Nonetheless, the 4th Youngsters alone are nowhere to be discovered. Resulting from their low intelligence, they weren’t allowed into the ruins of Eg-Lana! Now, the ambitions of the 4th Youngsters are about to return to gentle! Will they have the ability to unleash the “sealed final energy”?!

Rattling good query

La-Mulana 2 – The Tower of Oannes DLC doesn’t have a precise launch date as of but. Nonetheless, the Steam web page claims it’ll be out there this 12 months. The DLC can even make its approach onto the Epic Video games Retailer, GOG, and the Humble Retailer alongside the Steam launch.

The trailer above does exhibit among the tower in query. It additionally introduces you to a brand new NPC, who might also be an enemy. He has an angler fish for a head, and is both some type of deity or a part of an angler fish cult. I imply, these statues within the background are price some observe. There appears to be some trace towards an eldritch faith that includes buff dudes with fish for heads and fish for… Oh my god.

Tim says: Cam has it proper, however I’ll add some context. The 4th Youngsters have been fish those who have been absent from La-Mulana 2, so it seems to be like they’re taking heart stage on this. And sure, Hell Temple was notoriously tough — and that’s saying one thing for a recreation as difficult and mind-bending as La-Mulana. No touch upon the crotchfish, and I’ve acquired quite a lot of unanswered questions on how it will slot into the sport, however I’m blissful to see that the Tower of Oannes is lastly occurring. It was, in any case, hinted at in La-Mulana 2 itself, however hope was certainly sporting skinny.

Additionally, Oannes is a fish-man sage from Sumerian mythology so that matches in neatly right here too, particularly with the archaeological themes.
