Axiom Verge is getting a free randomiser mode – nearly six years after the Metroidvania came out.
In a post on the Axiom Verge blog, developer Thomas Happ said the update owes its existence to Axiom Verge’s speedrunning community as well as the original mod developer, Pozzum. Together, they came up with an unofficial version that required a legal copy of the game to use, and since worked with Happ to incorporate it officially into the game.
“They spent years working on this and refused any compensation I offered. It was a labour of love, and I’m hugely grateful to all of them,” Happ said.

Currently, the randomiser mode is only available on Steam and the Epic Games Store. But it will eventually be made available for free on consoles, too. To access the mode you need to play the beta version of Axiom Verge, which should appear in your library as a separate game.
