ATLUS and Vanillaware have wrapped up their support for Dragon’s Crown today by launching their fifth patch for the game on both Playstation 3 and Playstation Vita platforms. One of the key features of this update will appeal to those who were finding Inferno difficulty to be beneath them, with the launch of the Ultimate difficulty – with a complementary increase in level cap from 99 to 255.
Another feature included is the new Tower of Mirages level, which they describe as having not ten, not a hundred but up to tens of thousands of levels for you to traverse.
Full patch notes are available below:
[Bug Fixes]
- Gameplay stability is improved.
[New Features]
- Clearing the ninth layer in the Labyrinth of Chaos unlocks a new “Ultimate” difficulty level. This difficulty can be selected at the Temple.
