'Perish' Will Be Getting Free Exodus Content Update Later This Month - Trailer

by Rainier on June 14, 2023 @ 11:43 a.m. PDT

Perish is a grisly & blood-soaked 4-player co-op roguelike first-person shooter with endless battles in order to ascend to the heavens.

“Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once.”

- Caesar, Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Julius Caesar

Carve a gold-soaked path into the underworld up to Elysium and defeat the denizens of the realms of hell with cold steel. Spew molten golden bolts from the rotating barrels of your otherwordly pieces of handheld artillery. Gather the golden Danake and satisfy the demands of the Priests of Purgatory to earn your redemption!

Face eternal doom and slay hordes of demonic creatures on the black sands of Purgatory and sell their gold-stained corpses to exsiccated priests in exchange for increasingly powerful melee and firearms. Overwhelm abominable bosses and use the spoils of war to gain entrance to Elysium, a place reserved for mortals related to the gods and heroes. Gold and Death are waiting.

The revenant creatures at the gates of hell are consumed by the same lust for gold that motivates your own craving. Succumb to these dark souls and lose all of your precious wealth. Start over! Death is Sisyphean!

Muster up to three friends and reap the tides of hellish hordes together. Deploy co-op-specific gear and gadgetry to support, defend and revive each other on the perilous path towards eternal oblivion.

All this is accompanied by an appropriately brutal Death-Metal soundtrack explicitly written for this game by the devs themselves!


Developer ITEM42 knows exactly what the dedicated player base of Perish really want: FREE STUFF!

So apart from continuing to iron out bugs and improving the experience they have prepared a special treat for those who have been battling to escape the underworld.

Face the new challenges of Perish: Exodus a completely free content update that exists alongside the main campaign, on June 28th. Turn your back briefly on Elysium to explore the Winds of the Anemoi: four unexplored realms filled with terrific remixes and augmentations of existing weapons, fiendish enemies and boss fights that are even bigger and more devilish than those in the main campaign.

Meet with Prodromos the Scout, an agile ally who will guide you through four biomes filled with new environmental dangers: searing desert sunshine, blisteringly cold glaciers, toxic effluvia, and tempestuous storms. With the help of the Scout, gather the four shattered pieces of the Aegis Shield, assemble them in the Foundry of Vulturus, and challenge an ancient legend to a clash of immense proportions.

Features:

  • Four new realms to explore and survive
  • Four new Weapons, like the Pyrius Launcher, a hefty grenade-launching cannon, or a unique offensive shield that reflects the pernicious laser beams of your ranged foes.
  • Take your new weapons into the main campaign for a serious firepower upgrade and reach the afterlife more readily than ever before.
  • Scour the lands of the four winds for hidden chests containing advanced weaponry.

Key Features:

  • 1-4 player online co-op campaign sprawling across dilapidated temples, volcanic foundries, and ancient shipwrecks
  • A series of magnificent boss fights against rare and unheard-of colossal deities 
  • More than ten handcrafted and ornate weapons, from javelins and swords to bows and guns, each with their own unique and upgradeable offensive capabilities
  • Gratuitous, brutal, gold-soaked ranged and melee combat against enemies with distinctive battle behaviors
  • Morbid gladiators: enemies in PERISH are unforgiving, and as you travel further through Purgatory, you will meet a slew of enemies inspired by Ancient Greek, Roman, and Christian mythologies
  • Breathtaking visuals with Ray Tracing support for Nvidia RTX series graphics cards
  • Supports both DLSS 2 and DLSS 3 and Reflex for Nvidia graphics cards and AMD FSR on all GPUs

Perish is avaialble for PC (Steam/Epic Games Store/GOG) at $19.99/€19.99.
