Melee fighter Absolver's big free Downfall expansion gets a September release date

Wonderfully stylish online melee fighter Absolver's first major expansion is coming to PC and PS4 on September 25th, and it'll be free to existing players.

Known as Downfall, Absolver's new expansion includes significant additions to both the PvE and PvP experience. PvE leads the way in the form of the new Downfall game mode, which sets solo and co-op players the challenge of exploring the new Adalian Mines, "on a quest to battle Arcell and his corrupted Prospects".

According to developer Sloclap (via a post on the PlayStation Blog), each run through the Mines and Temples offers "a unique path through a variety of challenges and situations". Repeated runs are highly encouraged too, with corrupted Prospects dropping Gleam. This can be transformed into the likes of experience and gear, increasing your character's power in order to better tackle the mine's enemies - which feature improved AI - and three boss fights.
