A Surprise Launch After The Game Awards Victory

The new DLC introduces a story focused environment called Verso’s Drafts, a location inspired by the imaginative mind of a young Verso. Filled with toys, bright colors, and surreal structures, the area hints at both playful and unsettling elements tied to the overarching narrative.
