Cradle Games and tinybuild have confirmed that the sci-fi fantasy RPG Hellpoint will be released for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S in 2021, with the next gen release taking advantage of the power of the new consoles. The developers also confirmed that those who purchased the game for PS4 and Xbox One will get a free upgrade to the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions. The next gen version of Hellpoint will have two visual modes. The first is a performance mode with Dynamic 4K at 60FPS, and the second is called the quality which will be Native 4K at 30 FPS.
Hellpoint’s blurb reads:
Hellpoint is a dark sci fi action RPG set in the aftermath of a massive quantum cataclysm. Every living being quickly lost their mind as their memories and bodies were merged with alternate versions of themselves from parallel universes. The accident also attracted entities of immense power that should have been left alone, in the depth of other dimensions.
You play as a mysterious nameless character whose intentions are entirely determined by your choices. You wake up in the derelict Irid Novo space station, in orbit around a super-massive black hole. In the game, the space station orbits in real time around the ominous black hole. Its position in the sky directly impacts the sanity of the inhabitants of the station. The singularity is doing more than simply distorting the fabric of space and time; based on the time of the orbit, enemies in the levels get crazier or struck by fear, unknown entities roam the corridors and dozens of other mysterious events can occur.
Hellpoint was first announced back in 2018 and was originally expected to release in 2019, but there were some delays. Hellpoint was released on July 30th, 2020 for PS4, PC, Switch, and Xbox One.
