Matt Makes Games has announced the first expansion for Towerfall: Ascension.

The new downloadable content, dubbed ‘Dark World,’ will be arriving on PlayStation 4 and PC sometime in early 2015.


You can expect new characters, levels, gameplay mechanics, trials, and more.

For now, sample the first tidbits below:

Characters

Vainglorious Ghoul – As her appearance suggests, she captains an infamous ghost ship known as The Amaranth.

Levels

The Amaranth – The Amaranth, it turns out, is also one of four new level sets in the expansion.

Cataclysm – This tower uses procedurally generated levels to make sure every match is unique and surprising.

Darkfang – The dark world counterpart to Frostfang Keep.

Dreadwood – The dark world counterpart to Thornwood. This forest is not a friendly place, full of movement-impairing mud and motion-detecting crusher blocks. Bomb and bramble arrows can be found in this area, and mud has a habit of camouflaging bramble thorns. Tread lightly.

Power-Ups

Trigger Arrows – These behave like remote mines. Stick them to walls or ceilings in clever positions, wait for the perfect moment, and detonate when your opponents least expect it.

Prism Arrows – These lock your enemies in magical prisons so they have nowhere to hide.

If you want to get the latest updates for the expansion, make sure to go and bookmark the TowerFall dev blog.

Finally, if you’re at the PlayStation Experience next month, the early incarnation of the ‘Dark World’ expansion is playable on the show floor.
