Tormented Souls 2 just received a major update on Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Epic Games Store. Centered around a challenging New Game Plus mode, additional content includes tougher enemies, deadly new weapons, more secrets, and even a bonus costume for Caroline.
Editor’s Note: Check out our review of Tormented Souls on the Nintendo Switch.
Unlocked immediately after completing the game for the first time, New Game Plus ratchets up the tension by increasing both the enemy count and adding even more jump scares. Fortunately for Caroline, this mode also introduces two new weapons. The Electric Lance is an experimental device that delivers a lethal shock at close-range, while the highly volatile Flamethrower sets Caroline’s enemies ablaze in spectacular fashion.
While playing through New Game Plus, Caroline should keep a close eye out for Nuclear Batteries. These twelve collectable items are scattered across Villa Hess, and rumor has it that collecting them all will unlock the secret of the strange mechanical device that has mysteriously appeared in front of the town’s ruined Train Station. By achieving the true ending of New Game Plus players will be treated to a special ending that pays homage to the series’ classic survival horror roots.
To reflect the challenge of the mode, Caroline has been given a New Game Plus specific bonus costume, which really emphasizes her excellent bone structure. Players can find this fun outfit in the wardrobe of the Convent Guest Room upon starting a New Game Plus playthrough.
