FREEDOM WARS REMASTERED IS NOW AVAILABLE WORLDWIDE ON CONSOLES AND PC
Fight for the precious remnants of society’s resources, protect and rescue citizens who contribute value to society, and serve the Panopticon dutifully in combat to reduce a million-year prison sentence
Congratulations, Sinner. As a non-productive citizen of the Panopticon, the only way to reduce the million-year prison sentence assigned at birth is through the redeeming fire of combat. FREEDOM WARS REMASTERED, the cult classic action game originally released on PlayStation Vita, is now available worldwide for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC via Steam. The cult hit was remastered by the game’s original developer, and brings enhancements including 4K resolution, upgraded textures, improved online multiplayer, a new “Deadly Sinner” higher difficulty mode, and 60fps for current gen platforms. The story remains unchanged, but upgraded player systems help streamline looting, crafting, and other player interactions from the original release.
In the distant future, humanity is in a struggle to survive. Pollution has devastated the planet, and the remnants of humanity are divided amongst city-sized prisons called Panopticons. So scarce are resources that living itself is a crime and those born are immediately given a million years of prison time. Dubbed “Sinners” the only option other than awaiting death in prison is to fight for freedom with allies for resources, to rescue productive citizens from abduction by rival enemies, or take up arms against other enemy Sinners from competing Panopticons.
FREEDOM WARS REMASTERED brings enhancements such as 4K resolution, upgraded textures, and 60fps performance on PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam, an overhauled weapon crafting system and other gameplay upgrades, as well as adding difficulty settings. Staying true to the widely acclaimed original, players must venture forth into combat to survive. Fortunately, the standard-issue Thorn weapons help Sinners traverse the world and subdue enemies. Thorns allow for fluid three-dimensional movement by jumping and grabbing onto terrain. Players can choose weapons with unique abilities to either set traps, provide healing or increase defense. Thorns can also subdue enemies, even severing limbs or arms for additional resources. As players try to reduce their prison sentence, materials scrounged or taken from fallen enemies on the battlefield can be used to upgrade weapons.
The Panopticon is its own entity – players will come to understand and navigate through their prison environment and use Entitlement Points earned from volunteering for combat to claim new rights from their wardens, such as the ability to run for five seconds or to recline while seated. The wardens are fully customizable android accessories that can even accompany players into battle under their ever-watchful eyes. The Panopticon’s community of prisoners will be crucial to survival…missions support up to four Sinners either AI-controlled NPCs or with other players in online co-op. Band together to take on more difficult combat missions, and gradually reduce the million years of incarceration in a life-or-death fight for freedom.
