BADLAND Game of the Year Edition Release Dates
HELSINKI, Finland – May 13, in the year of our Lord 2015
– Frogmind announced today that BADLAND: Game of the
Year Edition will come out the last week of May. The
platform-specific release dates are: May 26 on the PlayStation®4
and PlayStation®3 computer entertainment systems and
PlayStation®Vita in North America, and May 27, respectively, in
Europe; May 26 for Windows, Mac and Linux through Steam; and May
29 in North America and Europe for Xbox One, the all-in-one
games and entertainment system from Microsoft, via the ID@Xbox
self-publishing program. The exact release date of the game on
Wii U™, planned for the end of June, will be announced at a
later date - so even more gaming media outlet resources can be
drained.
BADLAND: Game of the Year Edition is based on Frogmind’s
multi-award-winning game, BADLAND, a console-quality game for
tablets with over 25 million players worldwide. BADLAND is a
side-scrolling action adventure with innovative physics-based
gameplay and stunning atmospheric graphics and audio. Players
control a flying creature called Clony and try to survive an
astonishing number of imaginative traps, puzzles and obstacles
through a beautiful forest.
BADLAND: Game of the Year Edition builds on the original game’s
strengths with completely redesigned controls, perfected for
consoles and PC. The redesigned gameplay expands that of the
original by offering full left/right/up/down control over the
game’s characters. The Steam version supports up-to-four-player
multiplayer gaming from a single keyboard (old-school style),
gamepad controllers, and any combination of controllers and
keyboard.
The levels of BADLAND: Game of the Year Edition have been
rebuilt to suit the new control mechanics. The new edition
features over 15 hours and 100 levels of single-player story
content, 100 co-op levels, and 27 multiplayer deathmatch stages
for up-to-four-person local multiplayer awesomeness.
“BADLAND: Game of the Year Edition looks stunning in Full-HD
with all its visual enhancements, and the multiplayer gameplay
has been praised wherever we have shown it,” said Johannes
Vuorinen, co-creator of BADLAND. “The co-op mode works well even
for players of different skill levels – as long as one player
survives, he’ll be able to quickly resurrect the others back
into the game. BADLAND: Game of the Year Edition delivers one of
the best local multiplayer experiences on these new platforms.”
Get ready to save the Clones starting May 26 when BADLAND: Game
of the Year Edition comes out with launch week sales that take
the price to just under $10 in North America, €10 in Europe and
£7 in UK from its normal price of $11.99, €11.99 and £8,49 on
consoles. The price on Steam is $9.99, €9.99 and £6.99 and will
also feature a sale at launch. BADLAND: Game of the Year Edition
features cross-buy functionality on PlayStation® platforms,
offering players the game on all three available systems with a
single purchase.
