Key features
Unleash a high-tech arsenal of weaponry as you dodge, shield and parry enemy attacks in a fluid, flow-state-inducing dance. Combine abilities and learn the attack patterns of your enemies to gain the upper hand, even when the odds seem stacked against you.
After every run you’ll face a changed world. The permanent resources you gain will ensure this world yields to you, but the corrupting influence of the Eclipse touches every crevice of this shapeshifting world, revealing new paths through each biome and awakening a madness within everyone and everything.
With the 'Second Chance' feature you’ll be revived instantly on your first death, helping you get straight back into the action. Beyond that, you can permanently augment your loadout from an evolving set of weapons and upgrades to overcome the challenges you face on Carcosa.
Return to the Passage between runs to track your permanent progression and meet an ensemble cast of characters. As your crew from Echelon IV begin to succumb to the madness brought on by the Eclipse, you’ll start to question who can still be trusted among the people you once relied on.
Rich details of Carcosa and its inhabitants come to life with atmospheric, sci-fi-inspired 3D audio soundscapes, punctuated by a dark electronic musical score from two-time Grammy Award-winning composer Sam Slater.
Feel the corrupting experience of Carcosa through the DualSense® wireless controller’s adaptive triggers and haptic feedback, as Arjun’s memories, suit and weaponry evolve with the powerful corruption effects of the Eclipse.
