So what’s in the update? Well, a big portion is online multiplayer support.Synchronyadds support for up to eight players, in online co-op and versus modes. That’s a whole lot of hoppin’ and bouncin’ to the beat.
Three new characters are also part of the content pack. Chaunter can possess enemies and use their powers against others. Suzu is a speedy rhythm-fighter, with an invincible dash. And Klarinetta has a giant two-handed sword.
Full mod support and an integrated mod portal are also part of the pack. So not only can you mess with most aspects ofCrypt of the Necrodancer, but you can also load multiple mods at the same time.
Plus, there are new weapons, spells, items, and more. Brace Yourself says more features are expected to arrive in the course of Early Access forSynchronyas well.

Brace Yourself had teased thissuper-secret newsbeforehand, though the scope of it is still pretty surprising.Crypt of the Necrodancerhasnow received two pretty significant updatesthis year, which rules for everyone who still likes to boot up this rhythmic dungeon crawler.
And Brace Yourself has more on the way too. Today’s trailer closes out with a tease of another game to come.Rift of the Necrodancerjust has a title for now, but it will be a new standalone game in theNecrodanceruniverse. Hopefully we’ll hear more soon. But for now, it seems like a really good time to head back down into the crypt.
