PS Vita platformer Metrico lands on PS Plus tomorrow

We’re nearly there. Metrico will be available tomorrow on PlayStation Store in Europe! We have one more blogpost on Metrico to celebrate this and share some insights about trophies and PS Plus, but we’d like to start out with the premiere of the Metrico release trailer!

Metrico Trophies

Since experimenting is the very core of Metrico, we wanted to incorporate this in every aspect of the game as part of our holistic design process. This means we took quite some time to come up with a cool, and possibly rather difficult set of trophies for the game. We decided to make all of them hidden and see how long it takes for you to figure them out and spread them across the internet. As such it wouldn’t make much sense to spoil them here, but I can talk about it a little bit.

There are a total of 11 trophies in the game. Each of the six worlds have unique trophies which can be earned by completing each world within specific requirements. There are a couple of more obvious trophies scattered throughout the game that will also prove to be difficult to find and difficult to solve. Good luck finding them all!

PlayStation Plus

By now most of you have probably seen the PlayStation Plus line-up for August and noticed Metrico is available for free immediately at release on the 6th August for Plus members. For those of you who didn’t get the news already, surprise!

Like we explained in previous blogposts, Metrico’s core gameplay with the “Input Morphing” mechanic is very hard to explain. We keep reading comments of people being left flabbergasted after seeing a Metrico trailer, and simply have no clue what the game is about. We have to admit we made some experimental trailers, but either way, we just know the only way to really understand Metrico is to play it. Now that Metrico is free for PS Plus members, you have almost no reason to not check it out!

It’s a pity we will never know how Metrico would have sold on its own, but it’s obviously a great opportunity for us to let as many players as possible experience what we’ve been working on for the past two years. This will most likely also include a lot of players that might not even have considered buying the game. We at Digital Dreams think it’s awesome we might now tempt them to play as well. They will get a nice introduction to the Metrico universe and understand what a possible future game in this universe will be about.

Wrapping up

Time to tie up loose ends! We haven’t revealed the price point for Metrico yet. Metrico will be free for one month from 6th August for PlayStation Plus subscribers. Metrico is available for non-subscribers (and after that month for everybody) for €12.99.

Time for a little holiday now. Thank you so much for reading and all your support throughout Metrico’s development! It was quite a journey for us and it was great to receive your comments on PlayStation Blog. Keep an eye out for future announcements from us and please follow us on Twitter and Facebook to let us know if Metrico lived up to your expectations!

Enjoy exploring Metrico.
