The Persistence
The Sci-Fi horror experience, The Persistence, is now heading to multiple platforms to offer more gamers a chance at The Persistence
Great news for those out there that missed out on The Persistence when it hit the PSVR platform before. Apparently there were not so many people out there that were able to fully experience the game in that format and now we have word that Firesprite Games is going to open it up to many more. How many more? Well, it looks like this Summer we are going to be receiving a PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC version of The Persistence in a normal flatscreen format. Yes, we had to list the PS4 version there as well as this one will no longer require a PSVR to enjoy and try to survive out there.
Before you ask, yes, those who own The Persistence for the PSVR platform will also be getting an update that will allow them to play both versions with the newer one being a free update. That means that if you own the PSVR version you will get the basic PS4 version for free. A nice little bit to have here for those looking to have a new horror experience and in all forms. It does seem a bit odd to go in this direction for the development here, but it is what we are getting for The Persistence so take it and enjoy it all. Maybe this will happen for other titles too…?
The Persistence — Multiplatform Announcement
Cutting-edge independent developer Firesprite Games is excited to announce that critically acclaimed sci-fi horror experience The Persistence is heading to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC this summer.
The Persistence offers players a brutal take on survival-horror that integrates an innovative rogue-like design into the genre, with its forthcoming console and PC release marking the first time this chilling experience has hit the 4K flat screen.
In The Persistence, players are tasked with surviving on board a doomed deep space colony starship in the year 2521. Said ship is overrun with horrific and murderous aberrations that make their presence known as players explore, evade and fight their way through the depths of an ever-changing labyrinth to bring the ship back to Earth.
By taking the original VR release and adding support for flatscreen play, this fresh version of The Persistence heightens the tension thanks to enhanced environments and post-processing effects, all working seamlessly with tailored UI and controls. Firesprite Games is also pleased to announce that gamers who already own the PlayStation VR version will also receive these features via an update on PlayStation 4 for no extra cost.
Marking the release this summer, Games Publisher Perp Games will publish physical editions at retail on the three console platforms simultaneously with the digital launch from Firesprite Games.
The Persistence features:
- A brutal take on the survival-horror genre that integrates rogue-like design elements to give the action an extra edge.
- Procedurally generated stages that change with each playthrough, creating a labyrinth-like experience that adds to the tension.
- Live, die, repeat. Play as dozens of different clones on board the ship, each one with the potential to be stronger than the last.
- Tailored controls. enhanced environments and post-processing effects for PC, PS4, and XBOX deliver a heightened fidelity of horror for fans of the genre.
The Persistence will be released on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC digitally and physically this Summer.
