Adding more homage stages to Granzella’s shoot ’em up game R-Type Final 2 which first launched in North America on 30 April 2021 for the PS4, NSW, PC, X1 and Xbox Series X – Nippon Ichi Software America has announced the release of Stage Pass Volume 2. This pass will be split up into three sets (DLC Set 4, DLC Set 5 and DLC Set 6), each offering a handful of new stages.
The content is broken up as outlined below:
Stage Pass Volume 2 Contents | DLC Set 4 (Out Now): includes two new stages DLC Set 5 (Out Mid-November): includes two new stages DLC Set 6 (Out TBD): includes three new stages |
Due to what NIS America has cited as “differing storefront policies in North America”, the “final boss within Stage Y1.0 in DLC Set 4 will differ slightly from the original Japanese release”, particularly on the US PlayStation Store and US/EU Nintendo eShop. Opportunities to access the unmodified content are planned for a later date.
Promoted features of R-Type Final 2 include:
Enhanced and Evolved
Experience R-Type’s explosive return on current platforms, where the frenetic action of the original games meets contemporary visuals and modern gameplay features such as evolving enemies.
