Okay, so I just heard that Magin: The Rat Project Stories – it’s a side-scrolling adventure deckbuilder, sounds cool! – is coming out on April 29th. It’ll be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and Steam for $19.99. Daedalic Entertainment is publishing it, and The Rat Project is the team making the game.
Okay, so pre-orders are live for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X! If you’re a Nintendo Switch person, you’ll be able to pre-order stuff starting April 1st. They’re also doing a special “Essence Edition” for around $30, and it sounds pretty cool – you get a digital comic, extra effects for whatever game it is, a digital art book, the soundtrack, the backstory on ‘Essence,’ and a special main menu if you support them. It’s basically a bunch of digital goodies!
Here is an overview of the game, via Daedalic Entertainment:
