Flow Fire Games will release tactical shooter SYNTHETIK: Ultimate for Xbox One and Switch on December 16, followed by PlayStation 4 at later date, the developer announced. It will be available at a limited 33 percent-off discount price of $9.99 / €9.99 at launch, before changing to $14.99 / €14.99.
SYNTHETIK: Legion Rising first launched for PC via Steam and GOG in March 2018. All the content added to the PC version post-release is included in SYNTHETIK: Ultimate for consoles.
SYNTHETIK: Ultimate will also include new content, which will be made available for the PC version as a free “Ultimate Edition” expansion. This includes new story cutscenes and boss introductions, eight new rare enemy squads, the new Alchemy Shop containing 12 new synergy items, a final battle in the Armageddon Room, Weapon Modding (PC-only), and more.
“2020 has been a great year for us with more than 200,000 copies of SYNTHETIK sold on PC this year alone, and we’re looking forward to an even more exciting 2021—we will reveal more about that soon!” said Flow Fire Games co-founder Alexander Luck in a press release. “To celebrate we’ve wrapped up a great Christmas package for the end of the year as we release the Ultimate Edition expansion for SYNTHETIK: Legion Rising for PC and it arrives on consoles as well with the release of SYNTHETIK: Ultimate! We think the Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 are all excellent platforms for action games, and our mission is to offer these players a fast-paced shooter experience with the purity of the action seen in old-school titles, combined with the replayability of a modern roguelike.”
