Mark your calendars because April 29 is shaping up to be an exciting date for Towerborne fans. The game is not only expanding to consoles and joining Game Pass, but it’s also rolling out the much-anticipated Class Mastery Update. This update packs a punch with enhancements across the board, whether you’re gaming on PC or Xbox. Here’s a breakdown of what’s in store:
Cross-Platform Play and Progression: One of the most awaited features, Towerborne now lets PC and Xbox players team up, regardless of whether they’re using Steam or not. Even better, your progress will seamlessly carry over across all platforms.
And for those nostalgic for the joys of couch co-op, Xbox console players can now dive into the game side-by-side on the same screen. It’s a delightful nod to the local co-op experiences in classic action games from back in the day.
Class Skills: This update’s centerpiece is the revamped progression system, Class Mastery. Every player can now make each Ace truly their own by earning Skill Points from missions. These points can be used to tweak your class abilities, unlocking unique Focus Skills and Class Mechanics. Feel free to experiment and find out what works best for you — you can move your Skill Points around after missions to keep things fresh.
Towerborne’s world map and questline have undergone a bit of a makeover, thanks to feedback from Early Access players. Expect a more streamlined questing experience, strategically repositioned bosses, and the thrill of over 50 new handcrafted missions.
Introducing Umbra: Your spiritual companions, the Umbra, add another layer of depth to your adventures. With two new members, Boshi and Querida, joining this mystical lineup, you have a total of 11 to choose from.
Meet your match with the introduction of the Merk Brawler, a formidable new enemy type set to challenge your strategies and teamwork in novel ways.
Looking for new gear? The update includes a fresh suite of legendary items designed to enhance those powerful Focus Skills.
Gameplay Enhancements: The Mender’s Flask will change the way you tackle challenges. Instead of relying on automatic revives, this consumable lets Aces heal on the go but requires extra caution in battles. However, your team members can still lend a hand if you fall.
Aspects, those handy add-ons to your gear, have been fine-tuned. They’ve been rebalanced to support the new Class Skill system, ensuring your Ace is battle-ready to protect the Belfry.
Log daily tasks with a revamped Job Board, where you’ll find an expanded variety and an easier way to track progress to earn Writs.
Customizing your playing experience couldn’t be easier with improved keybinding options for tailoring controls to your liking. Plus, item badging now makes it a breeze to spot newly acquired items in your inventory.
Social Play Upgrades: The Group Finder tool has been streamlined, allowing you to easily join up with like-minded players without wading through countless search results.
And the social enhancements don’t stop there. Spot a group of Aces on the World Map? You can interact, recruit, and set off on wild adventures together without a hitch.
Your Friends list has also gotten an overhaul, making it simpler to keep tabs on friends across platforms, thanks to better sorting and online status indicators.
