New Overview Videos, Details For PS4 to PS5 Upgrade Released For ‘Oddworld: Soulstorm’
Developer Oddworld Inhabitants has released new footage for their upcoming return to the Oddworld series in Oddworld: Soulstorm, as well as dropped a few more details regarding the game’s free PlayStation 4 to PlayStation 5 upgrade path.
Per Gematsu, the team has revealed gameplay footage regarding Soulstorm‘s environments, as well as brief introductions to the game’s crafting, follower management and stealth mechanics. In addition, due to the concerns surrounding the PS+ offer of the game for PS5 owners, as opposed to the PS4 version of the game, Oddworld Inhabitants had this to say:
“The digital version of the game releases April 6 on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4. The PlayStation 5 digital version will be free for PlayStation 5 PlayStation Plus members during the month of April. If you purchase the PlayStation 4 version, we are offering a free path to the PlayStation 5 version. Because the game is free for PlayStation 5 PlayStation Plus owners in April, we will not be offering a free backward path from PlayStation 5 to PlayStation 4. The physical retail versions of the game will be in stores on July 6. If you purchase the physical retail PlayStation 4 version, you will get the PlayStation 5 digital version at no cost.”
Oddworld: Soulstorm will also be available April 6 on PC via the Epic Games Store. The Xbox One version will be arriving at a later date.
Running With Scissors first revealed their first-person shooter Flesh & Wire back in February. The developers have popped up again with a new trailer, offering prospective players a first glimpse at the nightmares lurking with antiheroine Angel in this POSTAL franchise spinoff that seeks to return to the first game’s dark and violent theme and setting.
Meet Angel, a normal college student with her whole life ahead of her, and Solomon, her loyal sphynx cat. In a sudden muzzle flash of horrific violence, the two find themselves swept up in a waking nightmare of blood, conspiracy, and retribution.
Pursue all-consuming vengeance as the duo seeks answers, no matter the cost. Go on a bloody tear, crossing paths with law enforcement, the National Guard, and a sinister cult that will stop at nothing to prevent Angel from finding the truth – and how it all connects to franchise protagonist the Postal Dude.
“Angel is the first time we’ve introduced a new protagonist to the POSTAL series, and she’s already resonating with both new and long-time fans,” said Vince Desi, founder of Running With Scissors. “Her story taps into the darkness that characterized the first game in the series, and today’s new trailer gives our community a first look at Angel’s feline companion, and the atrocities awaiting in Dreamscape.”
Look for Flesh & Wire to launch in 2027 on PC via Steam, GOG, and PlayStation 5.
