On top of this, it will include all of the DLC!<\/p>\n<p>There will also be some new content in the 2D action games, including &#8220;Endless Battle&#8221; mode, where you&#8217;ll take on a never-ending challenge and face off against an &#8220;onslaught&#8221; of random bosses. Inti Creates is even going to the extent of making some balance updates to upgrade the gameplay, making it sharper and more accessible than before.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps, most notably, the Switch 2 Edition of the game will be able to swap between a &#8220;high resolution (4K) display mode&#8221; and &#8220;high performance (120fps) mode&#8221;. So you can expect a silky smooth and super sharp experience.<\/p>\n<p>Physical releases have also been confirmed in Japan (<a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gematsu.com\/2026\/02\/gunvolt-chronicles-luminous-avenger-ix-12-dual-collection-announced-for-ps5-switch-2-switch-and-pc\">thanks for the heads up, Gematsu<\/a>).
