Here is an overview of the update, via The Arcade Crew:

The update will bring a new playable character into the fray: Cervul the Squire, a well-rounded lad who sports deadly talents in both axe throwing and tool-assisted combat. Cervul the Squire’s attacks and buffs grant advantages to either or both players—unless he’s steered down the dark path that is, in which case players will unlock an entirely different side of Cervul. Sinister choices will inspire an emphasized focus on dealing damage with distinct tools and a more… explosive playstyle.

Infernax “Deux or Die” also incorporates co-op play in Infernax‘s fan-favorite gun mode, perfect for players keen on wielding maximum firepower against the game’s monstrous beasts. This Contra-style homage is unlocked through the classic “Konami” code—and with the addition of a second action hero, will now feature a redesigned starting screen that old-school players will find instantly recognizable.

Infernax is available now for Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC via Steam.
