As Towerborne prepares to make its debut on April 29 with the much-anticipated Class Mastery Update, there’s plenty for fans to look forward to across all platforms. This update is a game-changer, enhancing nearly every aspect of the title whether you’re on console, PC, or diving in through Game Pass. Here’s a glimpse of what’s on the horizon:
First off, cross-platform play is finally here! PC and Xbox gamers can now team up regardless of whether they’re on Steam or another system, with progress seamlessly shared across these platforms.
If you remember the good old days of local multiplayer, you’ll love this: you can now experience that same couch co-op joy on Xbox consoles. Grab a controller (or a few) and jump into Towerborne with friends all on the same screen, just like the classic brawlers you might have loved in the past.
The Class Mastery system introduces a brand-new way to personalize each Ace within the game. By completing missions, you’ll earn Skill Points that let you fine-tune your class skills. Unlock unique Focus Skills and Mechanics tailored to your playstyle, with the freedom to reassign points between missions for the ultimate customization.
Towerborne’s overhaul doesn’t stop there; the world map and questline have been redesigned, guided by player feedback from Early Access. You’ll notice an improved questline, bosses have been reallocated for a smoother gameplay experience, and there are now over 50 freshly crafted missions waiting for you.
Your spirit companions, the Umbra, have expanded with the addition of Boshi and Querida, making the team of companions more versatile than ever, now numbering 11.
Prepare to face the new Merk Brawler, an adversary set to challenge your skills in fresh ways, with more enemies promised in future updates.
Chase after an arsenal of new legendary items, designed to enhance your Focus Skills and shake up your approach on the battlefield.
A host of gameplay refinements are also part of this update. The introduction of the Mender’s Flask changes the dynamics of survival mid-battle, as lives and auto-reviving are replaced by timely self-healing. Meanwhile, friendly Aces can still jump in to revive allies who’ve fallen.
The Aspect system’s impact has been amplified and rebalanced to better mesh with the new Class Mastery, addressing overlooked stats to keep your Ace ready for anything.
Beyond these enhancements, finding jobs through the Job Board becomes more dynamic with a wider range, a refreshed interface, and easier tracking, making it simpler to earn those precious Writs.
Customizing your controls gets more personal as well, with options to remap keybindings to fit the way you play, and a clearer item badging system keeps your inventory organized.
Social play just became a breeze with the revamped Group Finder, which now consolidates similar group types for quicker, more efficient team-ups. Interacting with other Aces in-game has been streamlined, making assembling a party to explore the Towerborne world more intuitive, complete with an improved Friends list that makes it easier to connect across platforms.
Get ready to dive into Towerborne when it launches on Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC via the Xbox App, and through Game Pass at the end of April. You can even pre-install the game right now or join the action on Steam Early Access. Game Pass members have it included with their subscription, along with some exclusive perks, while non-members can jump in by picking up the Founders Pack version, which adds some unique items to the mix.
