When we talk about the origins of gaming, arcades are the most important talking point we can’t leave out. These places are the reason gaming is where it is nowadays and influenced almost every visionary director. A genre of arcade gaming that played a huge part in this was vertical shoot ’em-up video games.
Probably the most influential one of these, at least in Japan, was Moon Cresta from Nichibutsu which came out in 1980. Since then, it has become a franchise and spun off into several games, including the recent Sol Cresta. Now, Platinum Games has announced that their newest shoot ’em-up will get a new DLC.
Major Takeaways
- Platinum Games has announced a new DLC for Sol Cresta.
- It will feature fighter crafts from the three previous games and is out already.
- The overall DLC is priced at $5.99 but the crafts can also be bought separately.
The Japanese developer announced this via a new YouTube video. Sol Cresta’s new DLC will be called “Legendary Fighters” and will allow fans to play fighters from previous games. Hence, players can relive the glory days of the older games in this brand-new title.
