Ghostrunner 2‘s pretty darn good, even if it did stray away from its predecessor’s single-minded concept. In turn, we got the super-cyber-ninja bike to ride on, so it’s not really that big of a loss. Now, though, that bike gets to be the star of its own DLC.
In what may or may not be a kind of a love letter to the awesomeness of Thumper, Ghostrunner 2‘s latest DLC is a tour de force that focuses exclusively on the aforementioned bike. While we might’ve said that the ninja-bike was a tad underused in Ghostrunner 2‘s main campaign, that may no longer be the case now that it’s got its own dedicated game mode. The slight kicker that’s worth keeping in mind? It appears to be a Season Pass exclusive, at least for the time being.
Ghostrunner 2: Endless Moto Mode is a part of the game’s Season Pass
While this isn’t necessarily a particularly popular opinion, I personally felt Ghostrunner 2 failed to deliver the same rush of adrenaline that the original title had in spades. More specifically, the sequel’s insistence on giving me multiple different ways of tackling a problem and even going so far as to have Metroidvania-esque features in some cases just didn’t feel right. Ghostrunner was about pushing forward at ridiculous speeds. Ghostrunner 2 is only sometimes about that, sadly.
That’s where the new Endless Moto Mode comes into the picture, surprisingly enough. As shown off in the delightfully hectic trailer featured above, Endless Moto Mode only gives you one (1) direction you should be going in. No diversions, alternative routes, or the ability to muck things up and find yourself in an awkward location. In Endless Moto Mode, you just go, and you go fast.
All cheekiness aside, Ghostrunner 2‘s Endless Moto Mode is available right now, but it appears to be a Season Pass exclusive. All the other Season Pass DLCs are available as standalone purchases, though they don’t actually come with content content, just weapon and character skins. Endless Moto Mode, on the other hand, is a pretty big addition to the game, all things considered.
I do still think the first Ghostrunner is the superior game, though.
