Yet another new mode and enemy type has been added to Marvel Powers United VR this week.
Developer Sanzaru Games just patched the Nuke Defense mode and Data Runner enemy into the Oculus Rift exclusive. In Nuke Defense players must battle their way over to and then deactivate nukes. But, rather than just pressing a button, Nuke Defense takes a page from Keep Talking And Nobody Explodes. Players need to enter a code displayed on a terminal and then pull a corresponding cable. Get it wrong and things go boom.
The Data Runner, meanwhile, is a tougher enemy type that collects data on the player. You’ll be given a limited time to take them out before they transmit that data back to other evil people.
Elsewhere, Sanzaru has tweaked a few things. The game’s default difficulty is now ‘Beginner Mode’, which will introduce players to the challenge at a more gradual pace. There’s also a heap of character tweaks, all of which and more you can see here.
As always, it’s great to see Marvel Powers United getting more free stuff. Our main issue with the game was its lack of variety and Sanzaru’s definitely been committed to resolving that. All that said, it’s starting to look less and less like that we’ll see any new heroes added to the game as DLC. It’s been over six months since the game launched and we haven’t seen any new characters. That said, Oculus did tell us that Iron Man was a possibility last Septemeber.
We’ll keep our fingers crossed for a surprise as Avengers: Endgame approaches.
Elsewhere, Sanzaru is working on another new game, Asgard’s Wrath. It doesn’t star Thor (at least as far as we know).
