'Unruly Heroes' (ALL) Gets PS4 Date - Trailer

by Rainier on May 9, 2019 @ 6:00 a.m. PDT

Unruly Heroes is an action-adventure game inspired by the famous chinese novel ‘A journey to the west’ better known as the Monkey King Legend.

The sacred Scroll that maintained the harmony in our world has been torn to pieces and scattered. From now on, strange and terrifying creatures sow discord and chaos throughout all the lands. Play four totally opposed and implausible heroes: Shifu the wise, Wukong the fearless monkey, Kihong the greedy pig and Sandmonk the sensitive brute.

Collect all the pieces of the Scroll on your journey to the West and travel to fantasy worlds to deliver countless creatures from the curse.

Through unexpected challenges, fight a diverse line-up of memorable enemies in solo or coop mode up to 4 players and be part of an epic adventure in a colorful and fantasy world!

Will you be brave as you face the terrible challenges that lie ahead?

Featuring four playable characters that battle a diverse lineup of enemies in a colorful fantasy world. Seamlessly swap between Sanzang, Wukong, Kihong, and Sandmonk - even mid-combo - as our heroes journey west across four vastly different environments in order to hunt for the scattered remnants of the Sacred Scroll.

Play solo, up to four player local co-op, or PvP (local, online) and face the terrible challenges that lay ahead.

Previously released on PC, Switch and Xbox One earlier this year, PS4 owners will be the first to play an updated & improved version of the game with a score of new features and performance improvements that really bring this retelling of the Monkey King legend to life.

And those PS4 players who set out on a journey with Unruly Heroes will be the first to experience the brand new Challenge Update content which introduces 2 new difficulty modes, additional character skins and a photo mode plus an array of gameplay & control tweaks. This content will be coming to PC, Xbox and Switch at a later date.

“Journey to the West is a wonderful story, but it’s not widely  known in the West.” Yang Lu, CEO of Magic Design Studios & Creative Director of Unruly Heroes commented. “There are elements of the original Chinese folk tale in many popular manga and anime properties but the true origin of the story has generally remained unknown - we wanted to change that.”

Sebastien Delord, Lead Designer, added “On the surface, Unruly Heroes can be mistaken for a traditional platforming game but we really hope with the launch of the PS4 version we will be able to connect with a new audience who will really understand the amazing challenge that our game has to offer for lone players, groups of adventurers or those who like to go head-to-head against friends”

Unruly Heroes will launch worldwide for PS4 on 28th May 2019 priced at £17.99/$19.99/€19.99 -  Playstation+ members in all regions can take advantage of a 20% discount for one week from launch.
