Supergiant Games have revealed that Transistor, their upcoming sci-fi action RPG, is coming with an unlockable mode that lets you restart the game with all of your previously earned skills and experience.

The new mode, dubbed Recursion mode, is unlocked after you complete the main story within Transistor. According to creative director Greg Kasavin, the mode is akin to the New Game Plus mode that was featured in their previous outing, Bastion. However, this new mode is apparently going to push “some of those ideas even further.”


Kasavin elaborated on what exactly makes up Recursion mode so special:

“[Recursion mode] opens up a lot of new gameplay as you’ll be discovering new function combinations all the way through your initial play-through of the game. You’ll also find some new surprises in the content itself the second time around. Enemy forces players run into will also be different and will change “just about every time you play.”

Greg also detailed how replayability within Transistor is a very thoroughly realized and core feature within the game:

“Our philosophy on replayability comes down to this: Our foremost goal is creating a complete-feeling, well paced game that’s respectful of and rewarding of the time you put into it. That means we really want for players to experience a sense of satisfaction at getting to the end of the game. If most players get to the end of Transistor and stop there, we’d be very happy, as they will have completed the story. But then again, there’s more to it than that.”

Transistor is coming to both PC and Playstation 4 on May 20th.
