Critically Acclaimed Co-op Survival Crafting Game ‘Abiotic Factor’ Launches on PS5 July 22 – PlayStation.Blog

I’m going to give this a go, so here — let’s dive into this adventure, shall we? Alright, so, July 22 is like right around the corner. Kind of feels like it snuck up, doesn’t it? Anyway, what’s the big deal on this date? Oh, just some epic launch of “Abiotic Factor” — a super quirky co-op game — ’cause why not throw some wits and chaos into your life? You and maybe five of your best pals — or not, maybe you’ll wing it solo like a true rebel — get to play scientists caught in this underground maze after some fierce group decides science isn’t cool anymore. Really, people?

So you’re not just running around waving gadgets — well, maybe a bit. It’s like brains over muscles here, okay? Gotta invent, hack, whatever you can dream up, to sneak between dimensions and try to escape. It’s wild, really.

First day on the job at this GATE Cascade Research spot? Picture this: pure madness. Think cozy offices turned upside down. You gotta handle your stuff, like grabbing a crunchy snack from vending machines or crashing on couches. Honestly, some alien meats are involved too. Oh, and don’t skip breaking into that fancy executive restroom… if radiation or whatever crazy spills don’t nab you first.

Here’s the kicker: make a base with, well, whatever you can find! Ever imagine setting up in an office cluttered with old cubicles? Now’s your chance. Build it up. Imagine putting a water cooler in your makeshift living room. Who wouldn’t? Stay sane, stay safe.

Weaponry, anyone? Loads of odd enemies, figure out some genius ways to squash ‘em using unlikely bits and bobs — alien artifacts, maybe. Don’t chicken out — scientists don’t do that! Throw in some scavenged tech or weird alien stuff, just don’t ask me how it works.

When not fending off bizarre creatures, maybe you’re into farming some plants, cooking — or smugly trying to score an abandoned forklift. Life goals, right?

Here’s the deal: own those hallways! Instead of backing down, flex those brain cells and pulverize foes with science. Upgrade your gear, sip coffee while you’re at it, and maybe, celebrate a little victory.

Rolling with a crew? Each of you gets a role to fill. Forager, fighter, chef? Yes, please. Just keep sipping water — it’s easy to forget while saving the world.

This GATE place is like a sprawling, secret world. Find the secrets. Every chamber holds strange bits, so check every corner. Befriend fellow nerds, or maybe not — depends on their mood. Adventure stretches beyond just the facility, reaching bizarre realms you’ve never seen. Sounds a little too much, doesn’t it? But kinda exciting, too.

Let’s keep the science alive! Whether you’re a mad scientist or play it cool, you’re solving puzzles, surviving mishaps. Don’t forget the labcoat — it’s iconic, right? Bring a buddy or two, if they’re up for it.

Anyway, “Abiotic Factor” drops July 22. It’s part of that PlayStation Plus Game lineup or whatever. Who’s ready to nerd out with me? Let’s dive into chaos at GATE Cascade. Science adventures await!
