Publisher Akupara Games and developer Videocult is celebrating Jolly Week of July with the announcement of Jolly Co-op in the Downpour DLC for Rain World. Jolly Co-Op is a four-play co-op mode that is arriving in Rain World with the Downpour DLC. The new DLC will come packed with new content and the developer will have additional announcements, streams, and devlogs throughout the week.
With the arrival of Jolly Co-Op mode, up to four players will be able to play together in the world of Rain World to survive the treacherous industrial wastelands. You will communicate with each other through in-game gestures, lend helping hands to others with the new piggyback riding mechanic and also customize your campaign with shared food bars, a Pup/Old mode, customizable survival requirements, and more. Downpour DLC will also bring Steam Workshop support and an updated built-in mod manager to the game.
Rain World is a unique game where you play as a small and courageous animal called a slugcat and you are all alone, separated from your family. As a lonely slugcat, you must brave the harsh, unforgiving wilderness where predators rule and you must survive by using your wits and proficiency in throwing tools to keep the beasts at bay. Apart from the predators, your other challenge is to seek refuge from the catastrophic downpours that tear through the land at all times.
The Downpour DLC is aiming to bring thousands of new maps to the game across ten new regions, five new playable characters with unique storylines and endings, two new game modes, and local co-op. Key features of the Downpour DLC include:
- Breaking New Ground to Explore – Survive and explore ten expansive new regions – featuring thousands of new maps, environments, creatures, and weather anomalies to discover
- Five Additional Characters – Each with unique abilities, skill sets, gameplay style, and stories
- Challenge Mode – Put your survivability to the test in multiple pre-constructed arena scenarios, adapting to each room as the difficulty increases
- Safari Mode – Observe an ecosystem unfold! Revisit areas once explored safely through the eyes of an observer – control and play as other creatures in the game to influence the scene
- Jolly Co-Op – Up to four local players can explore and survive all base-game campaigns in this local co-op mode. See if the power of friendship can overcome the treacherous world of Rain World.
If the new Downpour DLC strikes your fancy, you can head over to Steam and add it to your wishlist right now. A confirmed release date for Rain World: Downlpur is not known at this point however the developer is aiming to launch it soon. Additional details will be announced at a later stage.
