In an action you don’t usually see from a video game, Insomniac and Microsoft Studios have announced that three new achievements have been made available for the open-world action game Sunset Overdrive.
Designed to “challenge players to have more fun while dashing all over Sunset City and sowing mayhem with the TNTeddy”, these new achievements are based on three new Buck National themed challenges introduced to the game – and are worth 25 gamerscore points each. Details of all three can be found below:
Hardcore!: Buck National vs The Apocalypse
Beat the score of 600,000 on the Challenge “Buck’s National vs The Apocalypse.”
Hardcore!: Buck Strikes Back
Beat the score of 564,500 on the Challenge “Buck’s Strikes Back.”
Hardcore!: Buck Stops Here
Beat the score of 703,700 on the Challenge “Buck’s Stops Here.”
Insomniac Games have hinted that even more achievements will be released for Sunset Overdrive in the coming months. Especially as open world games are supposed to encourage players to explore every possibility from every nook around the world, the inclusion of these new challenges only help to provide added replayability to an already fulfilling game.
This Xbox One exclusive video game walked away with Silver (1st Runner Up) in my Video Game of the Year Awards of 2014. Check out my review of it HERE as well.
