At a press event at E3 this July, the studio revealed a bunch more things about what the game will be. The first is that the game will also include an online leaderboard: "We've been working on a way to let players compete against each other on the internet, and at launch, that will provide a much more meaningful matchmaking experience than you'd get with a traditional multiplayer game." It's unclear if this will be a Nintendo Switch exclusive in the U.S. as this is an open-source project, but I'd imagine that it would probably be.

It's also worth noting that the game only comes with three DLCs: the first for the PlayStation 4 version of Towerfall, the second for the Xbox One and third for the PS Vita. They say that the expansion would be a "huge update" for the PS4 version, and that "the game was originally planned to be free and there's no plans for a subscription." As we've been reporting, that's a bit of an exaggeration. Towerfall launches on September 28, the same day that The Last of Us will be out.

And finally, we've got a little more to say. "We're really excited to bring in this fantastic community," D'Almeida continues when asked if there will be a subscription service. "We want to provide a community where people can enjoy the game because, we believe, they
