Free-to-play PC shooter Loadout is headed to PlayStation 4, Sony and developer Edge of Reality have announced.
Dead Rising 3 Coming To PC, Trailer Shows Improved Graphics
The title has seen a lot of success through Steam with its F2P model, offering irreverent third-person shooter action with an impressively deep weapon customization feature. You can collect and buy different parts, combine them on different weapon types, and test them out in a closed environment before making tweaks or changes. The cartoony style is similar to that of Team Fortress 2, though a touch more violent.
Mark Nau, Creative Director at Edge of Reality, took to the PlayStation blog to introduce the game to console owners in case they weren't familiar with it.
The Witcher 3's E3 Trailer Is Amazing
"Loadout is a game that lets you concoct the weapon of your dreams and/or nightmares from hundreds of component parts, and share their payloads with your friends in fast-paced matches, with violently comedic results. Giant death beam? We've got it covered. Bouncy Tesla balls? Sure. Laser-guided cluster-bomb rockets?
"Hey, we're not here to judge. Loadout has literally billions of different weapon combinations, and you can wield every last one of them once we launch on PS4. We're going to be adjusting all the scopes and balancing the barrels so your weapons of choice feel right at home on DualShock 4.
"Putting a visually unique game like Loadout on PS4 is a treat for us. The sprawling levels and bombastic characters look as glorious and murderable as ever! When you shoot someone in Loadout, you know it and they know it: limbs and heads sever, gaping holes display the delightfully shiny organs within, and flesh burns to a well-done crisp. The lavish animation and art will be right at home on PS4."
The title will remain free on PS4, as that model on PC has brought in over three million players. There is no release date currently, but they have produced a new trailer for PlayStation to give console owners an idea of what's in store, which you can watch below.
