New Feature: Snake Snack

Take on Cobrings in a whole new way with the “Snake Snack” feature! Those little snakes don’t stand a chance against the newly authentic Luna and Niko— gobble them down without a second thought and receive an extra Life!

New Feature: Venom-Resistant

Don’t worry about your foes fighting back, as real mongooses are resistant to venom, and now you are too, taking little to no damage from enemies in this new way to play.

New Cutscenes: Incommunicado

Real mongooses can’t talk, and now Luna and Niko can’t speak either! Get to grips with the true way of communicating like a mongoose— leaving scent markers. Now each cutscene will feature Niko and Luna smearing their surroundings with viscous trails—convenient for finding your way around!

We hope you enjoy the new Realism Mode when it drops on June 31—you’d be a fool not to!
