Hob is set on a beautiful and dangerous unknown world, with buzzing life above and the whirrs of mysterious machinery below. The more players delve into the world’s design, the more they uncover a planet in peril. Players must learn to survive, understand their true purpose through acquiring skills, and ultimately transform the nature of the world itself. 

Hob is presented without text or dialogue. Narrative is revealed as players explore and interact with their mysterious planet, and the strange life forms that inhabit it. The third title from developer Runic Games, Hob is being developed for PC and console, featuring smooth controller gameplay, multi-layered puzzles, and striking visuals.

Pre-orders are open now on PS4, Steam, and GOG, featuring a bonus 10% discount for players.

During pre-orders, players on PlayStation will receive the exclusive Hob World Raise dynamic theme for free, while PlayStation Plus members will be able to purchase Hob for 20% off. Steam and GOG users will have access to the Runic Games Collection that includes Torchlight, Torchlight II and Hob for a heavily discounted price of $24.99.

“Almost two years ago, we announced Hob as our next game,” commented CEO Marsh Lefler. “This is an exciting milestone for both ourselves as developers and for our fans. We want to thank everyone for patiently waiting for the release date. We know it will be worth the wait.”

Runic Games also released a redesign of hobgame.com, featuring a mini-game with unlockable content, mirroring the puzzle-solving featured in Hob. This week only players will have an exclusive chance to name a Hob achievement/trophy, win a free copy of the game, and get their name in the credits. Visit hobgame.com for more information.

Attendees at PAX West 2017 can play Hob on the show floor, September 1-4 2017, before its release on both platforms later that month.

Hob will release digitally worldwide on September 26, 2017 for PC and PS4 at $19.99.
