Once you’ve finished the challenge, you can check your performance, including how long it took, the consumables used, parries and dodges employed, etc. Furthermore, completing the story unlocks Hard mode in Boss Challenge.
Completing the mode oSports Bettingn Normal or higher will unlock the new Neurolink Suit, but two additional Nano Suits – White and Black Kunoichi – can also be equipped. The update also promises some quality-of-life changes, like always displaying the compass in your HUD and automatically locking onto an enemy after using ranged attacks and then going back to melee. Stay tuned for more details when the patch goes live.
