3rd Eye Studios, the Helsinki-based developers behind Downward Spiral: Horus Station (2018), today announced the PS4 and PSVR version of the game is slated to land on PSN in August.

According to 3rd Eye’s blog, the studio is closing in to the launch of Downward Spiral: Horus Station for PlayStation 4 and PSVR.

“The version is in the final stages of certification, so only the very last bugs remain to be squashed. That also means that the release is just weeks away. We will announce the exact date as soon as we know for sure,” the creators say.

The studio also tweeted out that both the VR and traditional monitor version of the game is slated to arrive in August 2018.

Flying in zero-G, users propel themselves through the derelict Horus Space Station using a few methods, be it a retracting grappling hook, air booster, or by pushing off the station’s internals such as bulkheads and comm panels.

In our review, we thought Downward Spiral: Horus Station skimped on two crucial elements to the adventure however: story and gunplay. Despite this, it’s undeniably atmospheric and visually stunning. A soundtrack created by ex-HIM front man Ville Valo certainly sets the stage.

In addition to the campaign mission, Downward Spiral includes eight-player PvP and PvE multiplayer modes including Deathmatch, Horde and Survivor challenges. Despite the game’s misgivings, there’s a lot to like about Downward Spiral: Horus Station, so we’re definitely hoping the game’s slick visuals translate despite the PSVR’s graphical limitations.
