This version brings in fresh story segments and introduces “Red Light Raid,” an online multiplayer mode where you can ally with friends to battle enemy swarms. It also supports multiple language options, including voicing in English and Chinese, with subtitles in French, Italian, German, Spanish, and Simplified Chinese.
