Acclaimed Action Indie Hit Levels Up with New Playable Character, Co-op Play & Dual Warrior Fights - Infernax: Deux or Die Now Available via Free Update

New Combat Options Arrive for Two-Player Teams and Single Players Alike in the Biggest Addition Yet for One of the Most Celebrated Modern Tributes to Classic Action Adventures

Developer Berzerk Studio (Just Shapes & Beats) today announced with publisher The Arcade Crew that Infernax: Deux or Die, the free multiplayer update adding a new playable fighter, simultaneous co-operative play, and warrior-swapping combat for solo players in the goriest successor to classic action adventure games, is now available to owners of the original Infernax on PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PS4. Infernax: Deux or Die is also playable on PS5 via backward compatibility.

The update arrives with a new launch trailer spotlighting the added intensity an extra fighter brings to Infernax: Deux or Die’s sidescrolling sparrings with hell’s most fiendish beasts. Get a blood-splattered look at Infernax: Deux or Die’s elevated melee combat in new gameplay of both co-operative and single player, character-swapping action:

Infernax: Deux or Die features:

• A Formidable New Fighter: Cervul the Squire joins the demon-bashing fray with deadly proficiency in axe throwing and tool-assisted combat along with buff-granting abilities
• Powerfully Vile Attacks: Should Cervul be led down Infernax: Deux or Die’s darker morality path, an explosive alternate moveset will completely overhaul his playstyle
• Dual Warrior Combat: Two players can dispatch hell’s grisliest terrors in simultaneous local co-op, while solo players can tag between controlling either fighter
• A Fully Rebalanced Quest: A fully rebalanced adventure offers a distinct playthrough of Infernax’s entire campaign, tailored to accommodate a second playable hero (or villain)
• Co-Op Gun Mode: The beloved Contra-style homage now packs enough ammo for two - trade in a mace and axe for some serious firepower in this pitch-perfect throwback accessed via gaming’s greatest secret code

Launched to rave critical reviews, the “enchanting” 8-bit-inspired Infernax was one of early 2022’s highest rated indie darlings, clocking a mid-80s Metacritic score across all platforms and 1,200+ “Very Positive” reviews on Steam. Infernax’s gory central quest stars the knight and Duke of the land Alcedor, who returns from a brutal battle to find his home overrun by ravenous beasts from the underworld. Armed with his trusty mace and a thirst for justice, Alcedor must shoulder the fate of his world as he bashes unholy forces into pixelated pulp, earns powerful abilities and upgrades, uncovers the secrets of his land, and shapes his legacy through moral conundrums. 

Infernax: Deux or Die follows 2022’s debut of The Stranger, Infernax’s previous free content update which added a playable character inspired by classic horror pop culture. The Stranger wields a distinct arsenal of their own, turning beasts into a bloody gore with a devastating shotgun and an arsenal of blunt objects - all while donning a retro hockey mask, of course.
