‘The Persistence’ Heads to Console and PC Next Month in Non-VR Form
Revealed back in March, Firesprite Games has announced that the non-VR version of The Persistence will now ship in next month instead of this summer. The game will launch digitally for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC via Steam on May 21.
A physical edition will be published by Perp Games across all three console platforms later in the summer. The physical release will closely follow the digital release, while taking into account the effect of the current coronavirus pandemic. The Persistence was originally released as a PlayStation VR-exclusive title in July 2018.
“When we made the move to bring The Persistence to new platforms, our key focus was to ensure that the particularly brutal nature of gameplay made the leap to non-VR,” said Firesprite Games founder Graeme Ankers in a press release. “As a result, The Persistence keeps players on edge from beginning to end, and with a procedurally generated environment forming around them, no two playthroughs are ever identical, meaning you will never find safety in the same spot.”
WB Games and Rocksteady didn’t exactly have the best result with Batman: Arkham VR, but publisher Oculus Studios and developer Camouflaj (who worked on Marvel’s Iron Man VR) are looking to give it a go with Batman: Arkham Shadow for the Meta Quest 3.
Launching “late 2024“, there’s not much info on the game at the moment, though via the Summer Game Fest X account, we’ll be seeing more from Arkham Shadow when Summer Game Fest rolls around on June 7. The announcement trailer for Batman: Arkham Shadow does provide a little teaser with its description, stating “Gotham City is in danger. And you’re the only one who can save it.”.
