Developer Firesprite Games in collaboration with publisher Perp Games announces the acclaimed sci-fi horror experience The Persistence is heading to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC digitally as well as physically this Summer 2020. The game was first released for PlayStation VR in July 2018. The game brings players to 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.
You are not alone in space
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.
“We’re excited and very much looking forward to bringing this game and universe we have created to new platforms for players – The Persistence is a survival-horror experience designed to keep players on edge from start to finish, and with a procedurally generated environment forming around them, no two playthroughs are ever identical, meaning you will never find safety or security in the same place.”
-Graeme Ankers, MD and Co-founder of Firesprite Games
“Firesprite has created such an atmospheric, intense, and massively enjoyable game in The Persistence and we are absolutely delighted to have the opportunity to bring it to new audiences across all formats,”
– Rob Edwards, Managing Director of Perp 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.
