**No Straight Roads: Encore Edition** is an improved version of the original No Straight Roads video game, developed by Metronomik. The Steam-only exclusive was released on October 21, 2021 so far. The PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 port of this version was released as a free update for the original No Straight Roads game on May 31, 2022 (somewhat the European version?). Later on June 14, 2022, the update for North American and South American PSN+ software was released.

## Production

In Metronomik's stream honoring No Straight Roads' 1st Anniversary Stream, the developers revealed a somewhat improved version titled, *No Straight Roads: Encore Edition*. This version includes additional new content, like a 2D-animated intro published by LZBros, and an alternate pause menu format that will use graffiti (finished by fans over the age of 18) for a guitar cover. The fan art submitted by fans can be found all around Vinyl City. *No Straight Roads: Encore Edition* is only available on Steam.  New artists have joined, such as Ian Tsuchiura from Hyper Potions remixing Tatiana's boss battle song; and Garrett Williamson who composed the music for the opening cinematic. Michael Staple, who previously remixed Yinu and Tatiana's boss themes in the Christmas DLC, returned to remix 1010's song.

As for the PS4 and PS5 ports, French interactive app Beam Beam serves as a collaborator for the fanart pieces in game.

## Content

### Additions

* An animated intro is published by LZ Bros, while its paired song "78RPM" is composed by Garrett Williamson.
* New boss remixes are added, besides Tokyo Machine's remix of DJSS's boss theme.
* Sound cues are the addition to the default boss music followups, from DJSS to Yinu.
* 573 fanart pieces spread all over Vinyl City's walls.

### Improvements

* Highlights of incoming attacks and parry attacks are included for a bit of a better experience for later boss fights.

* The Sewers' segment cues are added to easily find new stuff.
