Behemoth is leveling up its endgame with the “Rites of Wrath” update, adding two new modes designed to keep the action going after the main story. It’s a move that gives players who’ve already mastered the basics a reason to dive back in and sharpen their skills.
These updates are all about focused, intense combat. Instead of exploring the world or chasing narrative threads, players will be putting everything they’ve learned about Behemoth’s movement and fighting systems to the test.
The Arena: Structured Combat At Its Core
Arena mode sets up carefully designed battle scenarios where players face off against waves of enemies. This isn’t about the usual story pacing or exploration. It’s a controlled space to see how far your reflexes and strategies can take you.
What’s compelling here is how the Arena strips away everything else, zeroing in on the game’s combat systems. It’s the perfect spot for experimenting with different loadouts, seeing how various weapons and abilities hold up when the pressure’s on.
Behemoth Trials: Boss Battles, No Filler
If you’ve already faced down Behemoth’s towering bosses in the main campaign, the Trials mode gives you a way to relive those moments without slogging through the full adventure again. It’s a straightforward boss rush, one after another. This setup caters to players who want the thrill of big fights, back-to-back, without any downtime. It’s about precision, timing, and figuring out how to adapt when there’s no breather between massive enemies.
Why This Matters For The Game’s Future
Adding modes like these shows how Skydance is listening to players who’ve wanted more combat-focused content. It’s a subtle shift in how Behemoth can be played: not just as a story-driven experience, but as a skill-testing gauntlet too. For players, it means there’s a new reason to come back even if the main quest is long since completed. It also hints at a future where Behemoth can keep evolving, with tweaks and expansions that lean into what makes its combat so satisfying.
Where You Can Play
The “Rites of Wrath” update lands on every platform where Behemoth’s already available: Meta Quest, PlayStation VR2, and PC VR. No matter where you play, the new challenges will be ready to push you further.
As these modes roll out, they’re not rewriting the whole game. But they’re adding depth for anyone who’s fallen for Behemoth’s weighty combat and wants to see just how far they can push it.
