PS5, Xbox Series Enhanced Versions of ‘What Remains of Edith Finch’ Available Now [Trailer]
It turns out that the original leak from the Taiwan Game Rating site was true. Revealed during publisher Annapurna Interactive’s showcase yesterday, Giant Sparrow’s BAFTA-winning title What Remains of Edith Finch is now available for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series as an enhanced version, featuring 4K resolution and support for 60 frames-per-second gameplay.
As an added bonus, those who already own What Remains of Edith Finch on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One are entitled to the enhanced upgrade for free. Unfortunately, per PushSquare, those who snagged the game via PS Plus are not eligible for the upgrade, it seems. Only those who actually purchased the game will get the upgrade.
Meanwhile, Nintendo Switch fans hoping to get in on the upgraded version of the game will be relying on developer Mobius Digital. However, no release date has been given for the Switch release as of yet.
If for whatever reason you haven’t played What Remains of Edith Finch, the title centres on 17-year-old Edith Finch, who has returned to her dilapidated family home to investigate just why her relatives have the unfortunate habit of dying young in unusual ways. Each story you find lets you experience the life of a new family member on the day of their death throughout the family’s history.
What Remains of Edith Finch was originally released back in 2017 for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG. The Nintendo Switch version followed in 2019.
Retroware surprised everyone last year with the announcement that they’re working on a throwback beat-’em-up based on the Toxic Crusaders cartoon. Grab your mop and get ready: the side-scrolling beat ’em up game is heading our way later this year.
Toxic Crusaders is now available to preorder on Steam, with the game set for Fall 2024 release. Exact date TBA.
Developer and publisher Retroware has teamed up with Troma Entertainment to bring the characters from the 1991 cartoon “Toxic Crusaders” back, for an all-new, all-action beat ’em up for one to four players.
In the game, “When the evil Dr. Killemoff attacks, only one team of hideously deformed creatures of superhuman size and strength stands between him and his plans for global pollution: the Toxic Crusaders, Earth’s last, greatest and ugliest hope for survival! Battle across seven disgusting levels rendered in vibrant pixel art as you defend Tromaville from hordes of Radiation Rangers, mutated thugs and zombie chickens. The odds might be stacked against you but with awesome powers, a winning personality, and up to four-players on your side, the Smogulan Empire’s days are numbered!
“Choose from seven playable characters, including Toxie, No-Zone, Junkyard, Major Disaster, and Headbanger – plus, for the first time, play as Toxie’s musically “gifted” girlfriend Yvonne, and the mother of all mothers, Mrs. Junko, Toxie’s mom!”
Considering this is set in Tromaville, it’s a safe bet that we’ll see more Troma characters beyond the Crusaders here. Toxic Crusaders will also feature fully voice-acted motion comic cutscenes, featuring voice acting by TeamFourStar, industry veterans, and of course, Troma actors.
Check out the gameplay demo below for a closer look at the Toxic Crusaders in action.
Toxic Crusaders is coming soon to Xbox Series X + S, Playstation 4 + 5, Steam, Nintendo Switch, and the Epic Games Store. But you can wishlist on Steam in the meantime.
