The new content coming to the game includes new story cutscenes and boss introductions, eight new rare enemy squads, the new Alchemy Shop that has 12 new synergy items, a final battle in the Armageddon Room, Weapon Modding on PC, and more.

"2020 has been a great year for us with more than 200,000 copies of SYNTHETIK sold on PC this year alone, and we’re looking forward to an even more exciting 2021—we will reveal more about that soon!" said Flow Fire Games co-founder Alexander Luck.

"To celebrate we’ve wrapped up a great Christmas package for the end of the year as we release the Ultimate Edition expansion for SYNTHETIK: Legion Rising for PC and it arrives on consoles as well with the release of SYNTHETIK: Ultimate! We think the Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 are all excellent platforms for action games, and our mission is to offer these players a fast-paced shooter experience with the purity of the action seen in old-school titles, combined with the replayability of a modern roguelike"
