The Persistence launches May 21 on Switch, new trailer

Firesprite Games has dated its sci-fi horror experience The Persistence for Switch. It’ll be out digitally on May 21, the developer has confirmed. The physical version “will be as near as possible to the digital release taking into account the effect of COVID 19 on global retail.”

Firesprite passed along the following overview and trailer for The Persistence today:

Set in the year 2521, The Persistence charges players with surviving on board a doomed deep space colony starship overrun with horrific and murderous mutants. Play sees them fighting their way through the depths of an ever-changing labyrinth to bring the ship back to Earth, with this new version heightening the tension thanks to enhanced environments and post-processing effects.

The Persistence features: –

A brutal take on the survival-horror genre that integrates rogue-like design elements to give the action an extra edge

Procedurally generated stages that change with each playthrough, creating a labyrinth-like experience that adds to the tension

Live, die, repeat. Play as dozens of different clones on board the ship, each one with the potential to be stronger than the last

Atmospheric, cutting-edge visuals in docked, handheld or tabletop modes for the Nintendo Switch platform

The Persistence will cost $29.99 / £24.99 / €29.99. Those who pre-order the game between April 23 and May 20 will receive a 10 percent discount.
