Chinese publisher Playism has announced a brand-new update for its high-octane FPS Bright Memory: Infinite, and the big new feature here is a proper third-person mode for players to enjoy.
Dubbed 'Perspective-assist', the new mode enables a third person viewpoint during the majority of gameplay, with the title only switching to a first-person perspective when aiming down sights and using skills.
The free update is out now for all players on all systems, alongside a pair of new paid character skins that are currently exclusive to the PC version. Here's a look at the 'Rabbit School Uniform' outfit from the game's new third person perspective:
We played through Bright Memory: Infinite at the game's Xbox Series X|S launch last summer, and while the core gameplay impressed us, its overall length still made the game feel like a tech demo. Still, we'll gladly take a new third person mode here - it should provide a nice reason to jump back in and replay the full game!

"Perspective Assist", yeah we know what the 3rd person mode is for, and it ain't the gameplay.
Third person is better than first person. Many games that are fp should've been tp
One of my favorite games from last year. I'll third person a try but will probably go back to first person very quickly since I'm so used to playing the game that way.
@Trmn8r That's an odd perspective to me. By far the most challenging shooters I have ever played were third person. Control, Returnal, and Remnant. They're know to be difficult games but I can't think of a single first person shooter that is widely considered challenging nor have I played one.
@RBRTMNZ Actually I just remembered that Wolfenstein is an fps that is widely considered to be difficult. I would say it's on par with Control and Remnant but less difficult than Returnal.
A surprise but a welcome one for sure. I do prefer my games in third person and it makes sense given that a lot of the bonuses are cosmetic ones to show off the stunning Shelia.
I do hope those bonus costumes make their way to the Xbox Series X but even if not, the third person is encouraging me to give the game another playthrough. The joys of shorter games!
