Sanctum 2’s First DLC Pack Announced!

Coffee Stain Studios announced the first DLC pack for Sanctum 2 today. Called Road to Elysion, this is the first of four major expansion packs planned for the hybrid title!

“The DLCs for Sanctum 2 will be much more substantial and larger compared to the DLCs for the first Sanctum,” says Oscar Jilsen, Lead Designer at Coffee Stain Studios.  “You will see new maps, enemies, perks, weapons, towers, and even a new playable character once in a while.  Our goal with the DLCs for Sanctum 2 is to add more replayability and more mind-blowing madness for our biggest fans!”

I’m excited to hear that a new playable character is being released with the pack. Apparently he or she will offer up a darker storyline and new weaponry.

Check out what features the Road to Elysion expansion brings to the table:

• New Playable Character – The DLC storyline centers around TSYGAN, a new shadowy playable character.

• New Weapons – Two weapons have been added including the rapid-firing Gatling Laser.

• New Tower Options – Two new towers, including the Range Spire, that dramatically increases the range of nearby offensive towers.

• Four Additional Unique Maps – Four brand new maps with refreshing interactive elements add exciting new tactics to each DLC level.

• Enhanced Enemies – From new support monsters that heal and mutate the attacking horde to a brand new aerial enemy boss, players should be prepared for this heightened challenge.

• Additional Perks – Customize your character even more with six awesome new perks, including a perk that gives you a pet robot that will fight for you!

Road to Elysion will be available on Steam for $3.99, unless you bought the season pass of course. No word on whether or not the DLC packs will be making their way to Xbox Live. The lack of a season pass option makes the Xbox’s inclusion less probable. We’ll have to wait and see…
