Abiotic Factor, the Acclaimed Co-op Science Survival Game, Launches on PS5 July 22 – PlayStation.Blog

I’m going to dive in, so bear with me—this might get a little messy.

Hey, you science buffs! July 22 is creeping up like an unwelcome reminder of deadlines—ha, aren’t they all? So, yeah, we’ve been noodling about in our lab coats over something pretty wild called Abiotic Factor. Ever thought about being a brainy scientist stuck underground with, like, a bunch of nerdy friends? Well, here’s your chance—you know, if you’re into that sort of chaos… with some crusaders crashing the party.

Use your noggin’ over muscle (I mean, who’s got time for the gym?), and cobble together gadgets on your quest to escape. Inter-dimensional portals, anyone? I know, it sounds like a fever dream somebody had after staying up way too late.

Anyway—wait—your first day at GATE Cascade Research is like, total anarchy. The Office Sector is where it all kicks off, and spoiler alert: it does not start in a pretty serene setting. Picture this: vending machines and sleeping on office couches. Yep, that’s your life now, tossing together meals—sometimes with questionable alien meat and sneaking into high-up restrooms if you dare the radiation spills.

Build yourself a cozy nest, add weird office junk, whatever it takes. It’s all chaos and mad science, right next to that funny water cooler you might just throw into your living room. Turn it into a fortress if you can, lasers and all—an engineer’s dream, or maybe a nightmare.

As you do all this, you’re not just wrestling with freaky entities but, you know, also tending hydroponics or cooking… I mean, if stealing forklifts is also on the agenda, who am I to judge? And sure, sometimes you might feel like a bewildered egghead, but your brain gets you through. Upgrade your toys, sip on some java, and hey, well done, buddy!

Bring friends along (or don’t—you do you), try different roles, get a groove going. Forager for the adventurous, chef for the culinary daredevils. New habits might pop up—just hydrate, alright?

This enormous underground warren—that’s what GATE Cascade is. Close your eyes and imagine those murky, twisty passageways. Crack its mysteries, stumble into wacky chambers, pick up new tricks—build yourself a toolkit. You’ll meet others down there, some might lend a hand, some not—life’s unpredictable, huh?

The journey is vast, reaching weird worlds beyond the science bits we mortals can grasp. Trust me, it’s a ride.

Whether you’re a loony scientist or the methodical type, dig in. Seriously, slap on that lab coat and draft unwilling pals into chaos. Discover stuff, face hardships, whatever floats your boat—this all kicks off July 22 on PlayStation Plus. Get your gear ready; the science goes on!

There it is. To science!
