Already released for PC on Steam, Project Warlock is making its way to console on June 9th for PS4, as well as June 11th and 12th for Nintendo Switch and Xbox One.

Project Warlock Preview
Nostalgic vibes are making their way to console…

Don’t let the old school artwork, rushing enemies and shotgun blasts fool you. This is an fpp shooter ripped straight from the 80’s and thrust into modern times with accompanying state of the art 2,5D pixel graphics, pulsating synth soundtrack and a varied assortment of baddies to shoot, dismember and incinerate. 72 types of enemies, 38 weapons, numerous perks and spells and robust weapon upgrade system plus over 100 tracks to accompany you when raising hell as in good old days.

The locations and enemies really look interesting in the “2.5D” style.

In a recent interview with PlayStation Blog, developer Jakub Cisło went into detail on what inspired the game, development, and what PS4 players can expect to see on June 9th.

Every FPS fan knows the joy of landing a well-placed shotgun shell in the guts of a demon frantically reaching its claws at you, or the excitement of finding a secret area full of gold and much-needed ammo. Project Warlock is all about recreating that feeling.
