Don't lose your head.

Question: What new weapon would you expect to see for the guns-blazing, bullet-time-powered Trepang2? That’s right, a sword! Well, believe it or not, it is what the community . And it will get swords in the appropriately named Bladekisser DLC coming to Trepang2 in July.

Trepang2 – Bladekisser is the game’s second DLC . As mentioned, the DLC is bringing a katana to the fray, along with a couple of other not-swords, which my editor assures me are called guns. Bladekisser wi🐷ll include more than weapons for those looking fo💝r additional content to play. The DLC can be purchased separately, but will be available for those who bought the Season Pass.

Trepang2 DLC brings hack-and-slash sword action to the fight

As you can no doubt conclude from the trailer, the sword is a nasty bit of work in Trepang2. The game found its fame aping the likes of FEAR, embracing bullet-time action with butt-sliding and face kicks. You probably wouldn’t think a sword fits into the mix, but the footage seems to speak for itself. Being able to slow time, slide around enemy backs, and belt out a Hokuto no Ken one-liner before the killing blow definitely looks possible and pretty fun as well. The DLC will include the sword along with a new revolver and machine gun, for those enemies who are sadly out of yourಌ reach.

The DLC will also come packed with:

  • Two new missions
    • TF63 command center and Omega Facility
  • Nine more maps for the combat simulator
  • Three high-value targets
  • Ten new intel documents

The new maps should test your sword-swinging skills. Omega Facility in particular sounds interesting, as it features a a raid on an ocean platform that’s “defended by a nuclear submarine.” Next month, you’ll know if you can slice a torpedo in half using a sword.

Trepang2 – Bladekisser will be available on July 25 for $7.99. As of this writing, Trepang2 is on sale during the Steam Summer Sale.
