Torment: Tides of Numenera just got a big update. It’s free and includes a new companion, Oom, as well as a codex. There are also improvements to crises, character progression, and the UI. If you want to try the new stuff—especially Oom—inXile recommends that you start a new game.

Torment: Tides of Numenera, the spiritual successor to Planescape: Torment, will be out on February 28, developer inXile announced today. It’ll be on PS4, PC, and Xbox One. I saw a bit at PAX and am pretty damn excited to play it.
