Metrico+ arrives on PS4 this August

Metrico+ is done! We’ve waited a long time before posting anything again on the PlayStation Blog, because we wanted to come back with some big news. We finished Metrico+ last week, so we’re finally back here on the PlayStation Blog to proudly present a release date to you! Metrico+ will launch the 23rd of August.

We made a new trailer that shows all the different worlds that you can explore in Metrico+:

Discount for owners of the original Metrico

Metrico+ will be available for purchase in the PlayStation Store on the 23rd of August for €13,99.

We also have some great news for owners of the original Metrico for PlayStation Vita: If you own Metrico already, you can buy Metrico+ with a 50% discount! (This discount also applies if you were to buy Metrico on Vita right now, as long as you do so before getting Metrico+).

A new game

Because lots of players loved the original Metrico on the PlayStation Vita, we feel we should incentivize those players to try Metrico+ as well, by giving them a 50% discount. Hopefully they will try our PS4 recreation and experience all the new challenges it has to offer and new worlds to explore, and see the reimagined world of Metrico on their television screens.

Now let’s make one thing clear: the only reason why Metrico+ is not called “Metrico 2” is that several puzzles of the original are still in Metrico+. However, there is so much new content and other new features in the game that we feel this latest iteration is an entirely new game altogether.

The world of Metrico completely reimagined!

The reimagining of Metrico+ for PlayStation 4 has been a lot more difficult than we anticipated. We knew it was never going to be easy to bring Metrico to the PlayStation 4, because it used so many of the hardware features of the PlayStation Vita. We had to come up with entirely new game mechanics and puzzles. Also, we felt like we had to add a lot to the game to make it work on a big screen, and we also wanted to try and get even more out of the world of Metrico.

Therefore, we chose to improve Metrico and added lots of new features. We made the world look way prettier for the big screen, added new trophies and a speedrun mode. There are new and special character animations, an entirely new story in the game, the music has been revised by Palmbomen and – most important of all – Metrico+ contains over 40 new puzzles utilizing new gameplay mechanics.

That’s why we added a “+” to the title.

And as I’ve said before, I promise that even if you’ve played the original Metrico, you will feel like you’re playing a different game when you play Metrico+. Above all, we know there are so many players that haven’t experienced the world of Metrico yet and that’s why we can’t wait to bring it to the PlayStation 4. Hopefully you like it just as much as we loved creating it!

We’d love to show and tell you more, but we’ll save that for another blog post when Metrico+ releases on the PlayStation Store in a few weeks. An the meantime, feel free to ask us anything!
