Earlier we reported that a new patch for Awesomnauts will add new characters and other fixes, and that specific patch has gone live on PSN and XBL and we also have the complete details and patch notes for you which you can check out below.

The game is currently available on PSN and XBL for $9.99 and 800 MSP respectively, not bad for a game that is supposed to be fantastic, as our review over here suggests.

“The new characters are called Coco Nebulon and Derpl Zork. Coco Nebulon is the first female Awesomenaut. With her psycho-electric melee abilities, lightning trails and detonatable lightning ball she will be a fierce enemy for the boys,” reads the press release.

“Derpl Zork meanwhile, is the nephew of the president of Zork Industries. But Derpl lacks his uncle’s business-smarts. In fact he lacks any kind of smarts: his IQ is even rated under the level of plankton in the official galaxial IQ test. His transforming combat walker more than makes up for it, though.”

Gameplay Features:

• 3 on 3 online platforming shooter action with bright 80’s cartoon style
• 8 very unique and highly customisable characters, each with their own attacks and skills
• Online and offline play with up to 3 players on a single console using splitscreen
• Full drop in drop out support with bots and humans being swapped where needed
• Strong MOBA influences, classes, upgrades, creeps, turrets, bases, tactical depth, etc.
• Advanced matchmaking options, which allow you to queue up for online matches without forcing you to wait in a matchmaking lobby!
• Unlock more than 100 unique items to beef up your abilities and customize your personal playing style for each match!
• Face melting battles across multiple exotic planets and alien spaceships!

In the past DTP and Ronimo had revealed two character reveals (check here and here). Today they have released a third one: Leon Chameleon, a French assassin.

According to the press release, Leon will have the following features:

• Reptile jump: Being a reptile has its advantages- strong leg muscles give Leon the ability to leap high into the air. His tail keeps him stable while mid-air, giving him an agile advantage over his enemies.

• Stealth: As a great tactician, Leon knows the element of surprise can be very useful in combat. Using his natural stealth ability in combination with robotic dummies, he can fool anyone on the battlefield.
• Tongue: Leon takes French kissing a bit too serious, slapping his tongue in your face, grabbing you by the throat and pulling you towards him in one flying swing. Chicks go wild for it!

• Slash: Our tailed rogue loves to stab people in the back, and there is one thing you need for that: a razorsharp lasersword. Also a great tool for making ratatouille.

Check out this brand new trailer and some screens from the upcoming Awesomenauts.

A new character for Awesomenauts has been revealed. He goes by the name of Sheriff Lonestar, and “fights as a mercenary in the robot wars, combining his awesome cowboy-powers with high tech weaponry to earn some solar to spend on whisky and cigars.”

His abilities, as specified by the developers, are given below:

Dynamite

Lonestar is a great fan of shooting things, but sometimes bullets just won’t cut it. So to make sure it stays down, Lonestar will chuck cigar-lit sticks of dynamite at his foes!

Bull

To keep himself sharp, Lonestar trains with powerful holo-Bulls that knock anyone away. New fangled portable holo-tech allows him to turn his training program on his enemies!

Shoot

Even though it’s a but modern for his tastes, Lonestar has shot his way out of many a tight situation using his deadly and accurate space blaster!

Double Jump

Using the simple thrusters he integrated into his classic cowboy boots, Lonestar can do an extra jump in mid-air. Handy for traversing mountains of wrangled Bovinions!

Some of Lonestar’s purchasable items:

Mister TNT

Increases the explosion size of dynamite.

“Free black van included.”

Techno Viking Helmet

Makes hyper bull deal damage.

“This helmet is property of chief Red Beard.”

Cheetag Bullets

Increase rate of fire of blaster.

“No Zurians were harmed during the testing other than the ones that were.”
