Are you ready for more A Hat in Time goodness? Well then, you're in luck, as Gears for Breakfast has revealed their surprise announcement tease from earlier this week. Titled "Nyakuza Metro", this will be a brand new downloadable content update for the game, that adds a world of gang-like cats featuring 10 new timepieces to collect, new dyes and outfits, and an alarmingly chaotic 50-person online mode. Yes, that's not a typo; there will be an Online Party mode added to the game which allows up to 50 players to join together to collect timepieces as quickly as possible. Of course, while it can bring people together through teamwork, you can also interact with others, even to their detriment. Any and all Kickstarter backers will get the DLC for free, while those that bought the game on or after launch will have to pay $6.99. A Hat in Time's Nyakuza Metro DLC will launch on May 10th for PC players, and console players will presumably get it at a later date.

Nyakuza Metro introduces an all-new chapter with 10 new Time Pieces, a new sticker system, new flairs, new dyes, a new weapon, a new purple Time Rift and more!
Online Party allows you to play online with your friends, in groups of up to 50 players!

Something to hold switch-wanters over: Coming this spring, according to a japanese Nintendo Direct from a while ago. Look it up.

 

[Mama Looigi]

Cats? I’m going to actually buy this game now =<^.^>=
...When it’s on sale

 

[Joe88]

The ship one was a bit disappointing, hopefully this will be better.
Also still no switch version date?

 

[Chizko]

Look like a loot of work put in this...and Switch?...

 

[kumikochan]

This is how DLC needs to be done and that only for 6.99.

 

[DarthVitrial]

I want to be excited for this. Hopefully they learned from how bad the ship DLC was...that was a nightmare that even soured the rest of the game for me, which was a shame since the base game is still one of the best platformers out there.
I want to believe they listened to the massive amount of criticism the first DLC had and learned from that.

 

[skrck]

this is some fucking weeb shit

I approve of this

 

[shado9573]
