'Liberated: Enhanced Edition' Gets To PS4, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S Date, Extra Content - Trailer

Leap into the frame of a graphic novel, where classic motion comic storytelling transitions into fully playable action sections in a story about technological surveillance squeezing society’s freedom away.

Liberated is an interactive dystopian graphic novel that unfolds on the pages of a comic book. The game is made up of 4 chapters - comic book issues showing the story from a perspective of different characters. Liberated transitions seamlessly from choice-based branching story sequences to fully playable action sequences as the action moves from panel to panel.

It is set in a dark world in the near future where technology turned against people. Under the pretext of ensuring security and order, many civil rights of citizens are being violated and modern technology has become a tool of the authorities to manipulate people. People are being surveilled in every possible way - via social media, CCTV, their online payments, device tracking and many others. Liberated is also a story about authoritarianism: about how it appears in a democratic society, gradually develops and ultimately tears it down.

The story presented in Liberated focuses on the fate of a group of people which has decided to oppose the new social order by using various methods of resistance even resorting to violence. On the other side there are representatives of the police and government, for whom the priority is to ensure order by all means possible, sometimes even by violating human freedoms. By exploring the story from different perspectives and both sides of the conflict, player learns the history of a world and begins to understand the motivations of various characters. The player also learns that any action and any decision will bring consequences and story can change.


Liberated: Enhanced Edition will be available digitally for PS4, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S on April 20, 2022 for $19.99/€19.99.

"We can finally bring Liberated to PlayStation and Xbox players in its best edition yet! The Enhanced Edition features all of the improvements we've developed with the PC edition - including two additional story chapters which act as an epilogue to the main story. They're a great showcase the world of Liberated still holds some secrets to be uncovered," said L.INC CEO & Liberated producer Robert Purzycki.

Liberated: Enhanced Edition on PlayStation & Xbox includes:

  • The acclaimed full game with enhancements in gameplay and content
  • Full English voice-overs with immersive voice acting
  • 2 epilogue chapters: “For the Homeland" & "Glory to the Heroes”

The next-gen version available on Xbox Series X|S via Smart Delivery provides additional enhancements, featuring resolution and performance boost (up to 1440p60 on Xbox Series S and 2160p60 on Xbox Series X) and faster loading times.

The Xbox edition is already available for pre-order on Xbox Store with a 20% discount (offer available until April 27th).

The gameplay is made up of 2.5D platformer, where the player moves in 2D within 3D environments, story elements presented within heavily stylized and animated comic book frames, QTE sequences and branching dialogue, bringing the story to life like nothing else.

Currently available for Nintendo Switch (eShop NA or Euro) and PC (Steam, GOG.com, Humble Bundle), Liberated is coming to PS4, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S on April 20, 2022.
