Survival horror game Monstrum is coming to consoles in May

Well-received PC survival horror game Monstrum is coming to consoles next month.

First released on PC in 2015, Team Junkfish’s survival horror game Monstrum is coming to PlayStation 4, Switch, and Xbox One on May 22.

The critically acclaimed game will be released digitally, while the physical release has been postponed to a later date due to issues related to COVID-19.

In the game, you awaken on a cargo ship with no memory of how you happened to arrive on the derelict vessel. Here, you are hunted by a predator and must scavenge the ship for both clues and tools in order to find a way to escape.

The only way you will survive is to “distract, hide, or slow the creature down.” Because the game features permadeath, you will have to use your wits, or else you will have to start from scratch as there are no save points.

Since the game features a procedurally generated environment, items, paths, and rooms will change every time you restart – but this also means the monster is randomized.

Team Junkfish is currently working on a sequel to the game, only this time, the monster is controlled by another player. Like its predecessor, it too will feature a procedurally generated horror labyrinth. It is slated for a Q4 release this year.

Cent Even thought it's 5 years later I guess it's cool to see this game come to consoles. Doesn't look like a game I would pick up myself but maybe if it was added to game pass.

Yeah it's great they are doing that and adding games to consoles but they should of maybe reworked it or created a new game entirely.

Damn I wonder why it took them 5 years to bring it to the console. I wouldn't play it though. Not a big fan of horror games.

9nty It's cool to see pc games getting pushed to consoles like ps4 and xbox, some sources has mentioned that this game has been rushed the scenes are not scary to play, graphics isn't the best to play. We'll see when the game gets published on consoles.

Yeah, I'm also a big fan of PC games getting pushed to consoles as well! I feel like it is the best way to expand popularity etc

This game would be good but the graphics and the animations just look tacky and unfinished. I can't see this being scary at all, looks like it has not been finished.
