The free Expeditions mode is now available for Control via an update, Remedy Entertainments fantastic and award winning title.  Expeditions should be live the moment you next fire-up Control with an internet connection for PC, PS4 and Xbox One.

Expeditions is endgame content that is designed to breathe even more life into the game for those that have finished the main campaign, though even without Expeditions, there’s still plenty of endgame content worthy of venturing back into the Old House.

In Expeditions, you as Jesse will visit new areas on the Old House, each with their own unique challenges to take on and should you prove successful in your attempts, you will unlock rare mods and crafting materials, which I’m sure, will come in handy for when the two main expansions release next year.  By taking on the challenges within Expeditions, you can also unlock a new outfit for Jesse.

Expeditions will be unlocked once players have completed the campaign mission “My Brother’s Keeper” and do you remember that randomly placed Jukebox located within a protective chamber, locked away in the Central Executive area?  Well that Jukebox’s purpose will all be revealed and by obtaining Jukebox Tokens, it will transport you to different dimensions to face said challenges.

Finally, at the very end of the Expeditions trailer, we are teased with the first full expansion, The Foundation, which releases first for PlayStation 4 on March 26th 2020, then for PC and Xbox One at a later date.
