Republique for PS4 launches March 22 in North America
PS4 version of Stealth game includes Gravity Rush outfit.
The PlayStation 4 version of Republique will launch in North America on March 22, developer Camoflaj announced. In Europe, the game is still set for a spring 2016 release.
The game will be released in both territories as a retail and download title, via Atlus in North America and NIS America and Europe. The standard edition will cost $39.99, and an NIS America Online Store-exclusive “Contraband Edition” is available for $44.99.
Over at the PlayStation Blog, Republique designer Paul Alexander detailed some of the PlayStation 4 version’s new features, including a collaboration costume for main character Hope:
- Whereas the mobile release had a “one touch” control scheme, and the PC release had a hotkey-friendly mouse and keyboard control scheme, in the PlayStation 4 release, players now have full control of Hope.
- Camoflaj built a cover system from scratch with new, motion-captured animations.
- The fixed camera perspectives are a huge asset. The analog controls flow naturally from one perspective to the next without impeding player movement.
- The “touch-friendly” OMNI hacking controls have transitioned to a button-focused solution using the DualShock 4.
- Hope will have access to new and original outfits, including a Gravity Rush-themed outfit.
