Free Resogun Update Adds Local Co-Op, Ship Editor, New Trophies

Tomorrow, Resogun will get a free update that adds a local cooperative mode, ship editor, new trophies, and leaderboard changes, according to a post to the PlayStation Blog.

As developer Housemarque Studios previously teased, the local co-op mode is being added to Resogun for free ahead of the paid DLC, Heroes, which will release on Wednesday for $5.

The Ship Editor will allow you to design your own ships from scratch using a detailed voxel editor. The editor doesn’t only let you choose what your ship looks like, but also balance its agility, boost, overdrive, and standard weapons. When you’re done designing your ship, you can also share it online and download other players’ designs.

With the addition of the ship editor and a number of fixes to exploits that the update will address, Housemarque said it has little choice but to reset the game’s leaderboards. However, Housemarque will honor the best players predating tomorrow’s update with a Hall of Fame Leaderboard, which will display their high scores forever.

Resogun’s Heroes DLC will add two new modes, Survival, in which you’ll see how far you can get with only one life, and Demolition, in which you destroy enemies by slamming into them with your ship. Housemarque also announced that it is developing more content for Resogun and has made a season pass available for $8.
