Genre metroidvania Although it dates back, it still happens regularly to be renewed with refreshing ideas. This may soon be the case with Ultroswhich will transpose the codes of the genre into a universe of psychedelic science fiction with a soundtrack orchestrated by ElHuervo (Hotline Miami).
The first game of hadoch propose to ultra-colorful aesthetics, violent close combata giant ship adrift in space compared to a giant womb, and a black hole-related time-rewind mechanic that will allow areas to be revisited to unlock even more abilities.
You wake up stranded after your ship apparently crashes into the Sarcophagus, a gigantic cosmic womb adrift in space that encases an age-old demonic being called ULTROS. Trapped in the endless loop of a black hole, you will have to explore this place and meet its hosts to understand your role…
Will you break this cycle at all costs or will you become the link between destruction and rebirth?
A PSYCHEDELIC SF ADVENTURE
ULTROS takes place in a multifaceted world, a vast alien environment teeming with life. A true love letter to science fiction, ULTROS stands out for its eccentric visual style and its mystical soundtrack composed by the visionary El Huervo, famous for his work on Hotline Miami. ULTROS explores meta-themes such as sanity, life, death, and karmic cycles in its deep lore and environmental storytelling.
A WORLD OF CONTRASTS
Experience close combat as violent as it is intimate against cosmic entities. Here, precision is everything and every nick of your blade counts. However, these intense and feverish fights rub shoulders with contemplative moments where you cultivate the flora of the Sarcophagus, as if to invite it to open its depths to you.
A MYSTERIOUS LOOP WITH MULTIPLE LAYERS
The rich world of ULTROS holds many secrets for those who have the curiosity – and the audacity – to unearth them. A unique loop mechanic will allow you to return to key moments in the story to better unravel its secrets, unlock different areas of the environment and new abilities on a multi-branched tree. Test and master your own fighting style while exploring the world of ULTROS. Each loop will bring you closer to the truth…
The title revealed during the Playstation Showcase is currently only announced on PS5, PS4 and PC for 2024.
