What’s up, Shellheads? It’s time for another update!
Astral Wraiths are invading the Campaign! Your favorite foes from Arcade Mode have leaked out of their rifts and can now be found wreaking havoc across New York City. New Wraith Minibosses can be found in the Sewers and in the Rooftops, adding an additional layer of challenge to your runs.
ARCADE MODE AND WRAITH UPDATES
Arcade Mode now has a smoother unlock experience that better explains how the mode works. Now, players receive rewards the first time they complete a challenge– and the great news is, these rewards will be given out to anyone who has already completed them too.
See you out there dunkin’ on Shredder (and wraiths!)
