Additionally, PlatinumGames also announced plans for the release of “Sol Cresta Dramatic DLC” which will add a new, voiced story mode written by creative director Hideki Kamiya. More DLC is said to be in development and will be announced closer to launch. Pricing for the DLC has not been revealed, but it will release on the same date as the game.
Sol Cresta gameplay features where players will be able to dock with friendly ships to unlock new powerups. Further, ships can be reconfigured during a stage to change bullet spreads and ships can also fire in multiple directions depending on the configuration. The team has dubbed this “Free-Form docking and shooting action.”
