<p><strong><a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/games/switch-eshop/jet_lancer">Jet Lancer</a></strong>, a Code Wakers-developed shoot ’em up that launched on Switch back in May, is set to receive a mighty Arcade Mode update. The best news? It’s free!</p>
<p>This new update includes a brand-new endless wave mode featuring rogue-lite elements and “nail-biting boss team-up battles”, as well as a few extra additions to the game. We’ve got a full rundown of the new stuff right here:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>An endless wave-based score-attack mode.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Unique, stacking upgrades, making each run one-of-a-kind. The longer you survive, the more powerful you become.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Multi-boss battles – fight multiple bosses from the story mode at the same time.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Three new pilots with unique jets and handling.</strong></li>
<li><strong>New Progressions system to unlock additional pilots and their jets</strong></li>
<li><strong>Three new primary weapons</strong>
<ul>
<li>Flamethrower: Immense repeatable damage at very close range.</li>
<li>Railgun: Instantaneous precision shots.</li>
<li>Coil Gun: Chain lightning between grouped enemies.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>The update has just gone live for players on Steam, with the Switch version of the update to follow. Hopefully we won’t have long to wait – the team tells us that it’ll arrive “soon” and is currently pending approval from Nintendo.</p>
