Fight to break the cycle with another Selene from a branching timeline.<\/p>\n

In Returnal’s co-op mode, you can share your entire journey* through the shifting labyrinth of Atropos with another player.**<\/p>\n

The hostile nature of Atropos is unwavering, but the possibility of teamwork adds a whole new dimension and means of survival. Instead of scouting alone, try coordinating your onslaught with another player \u2013 especially when the odds continue stacking up against you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Prepare for a new kind of challenge in the Tower of Sisyphus, a nearly endless ascending gauntlet with a pure focus on combat. Build up your score as you progress, while searching for exclusive items, Scout logs and as-yet-unseen fragments from Selene\u2019s story.<\/p>\n

Be ready for anything. With threats old and new waiting as you ascend the Tower, you could find yourself encountering echoes of things you\u2019ve seen before, or something entirely new. Other new surprises also await, only available to you in the Tower of Sisyphus.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
