Darknet Announced for PS4 VR
VANCOUVER, Canada – January 17, in the year of our
Lord 2017 — Archiact and E McNeill have joined forces
to bring Darknet, the award-winning cyberpunk hacking game, to
PlayStation VR in early 2017.
When the Archiact team was offered the opportunity to team up
with the creator of a game they loved and build upon an
already-proven title, they jumped right in. Darknet was then
refined and tailored for PlayStation VR, and now boasts several
new improvements exclusive to PS VR. Full audio integration has
been added for the PS4 Dualshock controller, bringing another
layer of immersion to the up-close-and-personal hacking
experience. Players will notice art enhancements to areas such
as the in-network nodes, the user interface, and the main menu.
All-new PS VR trophies have also been added for players to hunt
down and collect.
Players will find themselves immersed in the darkest corners of
cyberspace with entire networks waiting to be hacked; using an
arsenal of digital tools, it’s a race against the clock to
collect data and conquer the deep web. Darknet offers clever,
challenging gameplay to players of all skill levels, and brings
the kind of immersion that truly makes VR feel like the tech
breakthrough it is.
“The best part about a collaborative effort between passionate
developers is the osmosis of knowledge and skills that
inevitably takes place,” Renee Klint, Community Manager at
Archiact, wrote in a recent PlayStation blog. “Now that Archiact
is charging full-force into our biggest year yet, we loved the
chance to work closely with E and his indie ethos. The end
result is a fresh take on a classic, with subtle yet impactful
improvements—we know you’ll love it!”
Darknet will be available for $14.99 on PlayStation VR in early
2017.
