Escape Plan came to PlayStation Vita very early in its lifecycle, and we loved it. We learned it would get DLC back in April, and indeed it has, in the form of Bakuki’s Lair and The Asylum.
And today, IGN can confirm that Escape Plan’s third DLC pack – The Underground – will be coming to PlayStation Network this Tuesday, July 31st. It will cost $1.99 for its first two weeks on the market, and will jump up to $4.99 thereafter.
The Underground again puts players in the role of the lovable Lil and Laarg, the petite and obese character tandem at the heart of Escape Plan’s comical plot. Evil mastermind Bakuki is still on their respective tails, this time chasing them through a railroad station. The same mechanics are at play here, requiring gamers to manipulate the environment around them using the front and back touch bad, the gyroscope and analog sticks to get both characters to safety.
Players can expect 21 new stages in The Underground, complete with four new Trophies and four additional (and entirely optional) costumes for Lil and Laarg. There’s also new sonic accompaniment. Better yet, the DLC goes live at the same time as a new patch designed to make some minor upgrades, including the ability to use the Vita’s circle button in lieu of the “pinching” action necessary to make Lil… well… pass gas. And Lil will be doing a whole lot of that during The Underground’s new levels.
The four stages I saw – Underground Bash, Mind the Tap, Tube Shocks and Loose Caboose – ran a gamut of puzzles Escape Plan veterans will mostly be familiar with. There are, however, some new interactive objects that gamers will need to work their way around, over, below and through.
Escape Plan continues to be one of Vita’s strongest games – and certainly its most endearing title – and it’s great to see Sony still supporting it.
