Wargroove’s “Double Trouble” Free DLC Update Detailed, Includes New Campaign And Faction
Developer Chucklefish has released the full details of its upcoming free update to Wargroove, titled “Double Trouble”.
As the update’s name implies, the DLC is designed primarily for Co-Op play, and includes a new campaign as well as the new Outlaw Faction. This new faction will include three new Commanders as well as two new units. A summary of the details can be found below, as taken from Chucklefish’s official blog posts on the update:
- A brand new Co-Op Story Campaign (can be played couch co-op, online co-op or even solo)
- New Outlaw Commanders Wulfar, Errol & Orla, and Vesper.
- Errol & Orla are a twins who serve as a single commander, although they both have different Groove abilities.
- More details about Vesper will be released at a later date.
- Two new Outlaw units: Thief and Rifleman
- New Arcade missions
- Competitive online Quick Play maps, including some of the community’s most competitive maps as voted for by the Groove of War team
- Public and Private Multiplayer Lobbies – you can now also play custom campaigns online!
- New Volcano map theme and more updates to the custom Editor tools
- Unit Modifiers – We’re enabling players to modify the damage that any unit/structure receives as a percentage, including making them invulnerable. We’re also looking into a teleport unit action for the editor.
- Metalocations -We’re adding support for ‘metalocations’ which indicate where things last happened on the map, for example the last attacker, last defender, last recruit, last unit used, last movement path, last death etc. There will also be new actions for locations, such as copying a location area, moving location by (x,y), and boolean operations between locations.
- Gizmos – New place-able entities with an on and off state such as levers and chests. Using gizmos you can override terrain (e.g. draw bridges) and will also be able to enter new actions to set and toggle the gizmo state, as well as new conditions to check it.
- Counters – We’re adding new actions to perform arithmetic between counters as well as setting the counter to random value, and load/storing counter values to some other variables (HP, Groove etc.). There’s also a new condition to compare counters.
- Actions can now play sounds
- Map upload slots will also be increased so players can upload more maps at once.
- Volcano biomes now available in the map builder for all your lava needs.
- Outlaw music tracks, composed by Phonetic Hero
- Balance Changes
- And more!
Although the release date is still pending, Chucklefish has confirmed that they will be streaming the update on their official Twitch channel tomorrow. We will report back when more details are available.
