This content will be available starting Thursday, April 14th, 11pm EST until Monday, April 18th, 8am EST . It is an extension to the existing season-based story but with a twist—instead of continuing with the same story based missions, The Void is an endless mode in the chaotic depths of space where you can enjoy the core moment-to-moment gameplay at the heart of GALAK-Z. Every run in The Void ends only by perishing. There are no save points. There is no mercy. However, your score will be posted each time to online leaderboards so that you can compete against other players’ high scores.
