'Anno: Mutationem' Gets PS4, PS5 And PC Release Date - Screens & Trailer

Anno: Mutationem is an action-adventure game with RPG elements set in a cyberpunk world, featuring a unique mix of pixelated 2D & 3D graphic style with a rich, dark and bizarre plot.

Anno: Mutationem is a combination of 2D & 3D modes, action and adventure gameplay, sprites and polygons, while throwing in some RPG-elements and letting the whole thing come alive amid a bustling cyberpunk world.

You take control of main character Ann, a highly-skilled combat-trained a lone wolf one-woman army who is supported by her hacker friend Ayane, on a personal mission in a giant Metropolis, full of sinister mega-corporations, mysterious fringe groups and creatures more bizarre than words can express.

When you start the game, you will be in what we call Exploration Mode, meaning you can play the game as if it’s your favorite an action RPG: you move around in 3D, talk to NPCs, and interact with the environment. No rush, it’s your world.

As you proceed to the next section it will seamlessly switch to the 2D Battle Mode, which is where Ann busts out the broad swords, hand cannons, and that fast, lethal rhythm of battle. Combat is all about double-jumps, dodging, and well-timed ground-pounds. It plays like your favorite 2D action games, along with exciting platforming and huge boss fights.

This dynamic looks cool and we hope you think so, too. Beyond stylish aesthetics, the gameplay works functionally, too.

The pixel-graphics and 2D sprites are a love letter to the games we grew up playing. Today’s tech allows us to create huge cities and environments in a modern style that holds on to a hybrid vibe we feel is very fitting for cyberpunk.


Anno: Mutationem is available for pre-order on PSN or PC (Steam).

Key Features:

  • Where 2D Meets 3D – Unique 2D-to-3D gameplay, seamless switching between 2D action and platforming and 3D exploration to interact with the world and its inhabitants.
  • Ann Kicks Ass – Ann will slash, shoot, combo, grenade-throw, and ground-pound her way thru hordes of enemies and huge bosses.
  • Explore, Discover, and Return – Exploring diverse locations such as huge cities & complex underground structures, players are free to go as they please, returning to previous areas and unlock new events.
  • A Dark, Twisted Plot – A grand story befitting a rich and dark cyberpunk decor, featuring our main hero Ann and her trusty hacker side-kick Ayane.
  • Craft, Upgrade, Improve, and Customize – Collect, buy or craft items, and upgrade Ann’s stats, skills, and gear. Use chips to modify any kind of weapon you find.

Anno: Mutationem is coming to PS4, PS5 and PC (Steam) on March 17, 2022.
