'Goliath' Coming To PS4 And Xbox One

by Rainier on April 6, 2017 @ 1:05 p.m. PDT

An open-world, action-adventure game with crafting and role-playing elements, Goliath is set in a universe where players build and customize massive robots to overcome the challenges they face.

Everybody Makes Mistakes. You Make Giants.

After stumbling through a mysterious rift, you find yourself in a bizarre new world consisting of jumbled fragments from dead civilisations and technological marvels of the far future. Factions battle each other across the planet, but all tremble in fear of the giant monsters that freely roam the land. Fortunately, you know how to build Goliaths of your own. It is up to you to show everyone who’s boss... by crafting giant robots and punching monsters in the face!

Set out to explore the world in search of materials, blueprints, crafting tools, and everything else you need to make the biggest and baddest Goliath. Each can be customised and equipped with a variety of new weapons and add-ons that grant new abilities – making every combat mech unique. As you explore, you’ll discover more complex recipes, which will allow you to create better tools and weapons for your Goliath.

Discover the rolling prairies, dense forests, eerie swamps, and frozen tundras of a procedurally-generated open world featuring quests, dynamic weather, and a day/night cycle. Each area is teeming with wild monsters and other dangers that you must overcome if you want to have a shot at survival. Use the supplies you gather to craft healing salves, build protective fortresses, and more to defend against the dangers of this savage world. Be mindful of your surroundings because the weather and terrain will affect your Goliath’s performance...

You can align yourself with a faction to broker peace deals (or accelerate an inevitable war), but choose wisely: each faction offers distinct strategic advantages in weaponry or Goliath blueprints. Once you’ve forged an alliance, keep your eyes peeled for rival faction members looking to encroach on your territory!

“We’ve been fans of Goliath since the first reveal. Who doesn’t love giant robots?” says Luis Quintans, CEO, BadLand Games. “Kudos to Alawar Premium for delivering on such an original idea.”

“When BadLand Games said they wanted to bring Goliath to consoles, we could barely contain our excitement,” says Artem Bochkarev, producer, Alawar Premium. “Goliath is Alawar Premium’s dream project. We’re thankful for the opportunity to finally bring the game to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One owners!”

Key Features:

  • Build, Create and Destroy: Construct and customize giant Goliath robots, crafted from the materials found and tools earned along your journey to help level the playing field against the world’s colossal beasts.
  • Living World: Procedurally generated environments, quests and events, and a living ecosystem with changing weather and day and night cycles ensure that no two games of Goliath will ever be the same.
  • Adapt to Your Environment: Players must consider how different weather conditions affect various Goliath types while interacting with countless creatures to hunt and fight.
  • Boss Battles: Battle gigantic bosses that dwarf your massive mechanized warriors!
  • Cooperative Multiplayer: Goliath supports four-player co-op. Each player’s world has unique quests and rewards, and any loot you earn in co-op can be used in single-player mode.
  • Play Your Way: Choose one of several factions in a massive war that’s sweeping the land and determine who will come out on top. Players can build a fortified base to take on everyone or take on the role of a roaming nomad.

Goliath is currently available as digital download through Steam for $19.99.
