Most importantly, this will be part of a new quest to enjoy, with secrets and challenges awaiting those wishing to conquer it.

For those unfamiliar, Permadeath mode is where the player must finish the game without dying once, but if death does come, then the game restarts. Another mode includes Boss Rush mode, where players can take on all the game bosses in a single arena. The trailer clarifies that this mode will become available after completing the game.
