SOLAR ASH Pre-Order on Epic Games Store, Fans Wait for PS5, PS4 Pre-Orders

Since Heart Machine Entertainment pushed back SOLAR ASH’s original release date, they’ve now announced that there are pre-orders available on the Epic Games Store for Windows PC, many suspects that PlayStation Pre-orders will soon be available as there has already been a listing on the PlayStation Store France.

Solar Ash, developed by Heart Machine is a fast-paced, action-adventure platformer. So far it’s known for its vibrant graphics and scenery and fast-paced gameplay involved with the unique aesthetic style of the characters, it is a sequel to the pixelated game Hyper Light Drifter. PlayStation has described Solar Ash as a “Journey through a surreal, vivid and highly stylized world filled with mystery, high-speed traversal, endearing characters, and massive enemy encounters.” I’m not surprised, Solar Ash is an exciting must-have on wishlist type game.

Solar Ash Release Date

Solar Ash’s official release date is the 2nd December 2021, which has been clearly stated on the Epic Games Store and PlayStation Store France, while it has yet to be uploaded anywhere else, we can only hope that Solar Ash will be released on PlayStation internationally on the same date. The price is roughly around £30, which is to be expected.

Solar Ash, a PlayStation console exclusive, will be delayed in order to improve the game, according to developer Heart Machine.

Solar Ash, developed by Heart Machine who also made the popular Hyperlight Drifter, has been postponed from its original release date of late October.

Heart Machine announced on Twitter that their forthcoming title, Solar Ash, will be delayed. It’s not a huge delay, as it’ll still be released by the end of the year. The developer stated that they required additional time to complete the project.

The pandemic is also blamed for more delays, according to the team. Fans voiced their dismay, but also are understanding of the pandemic’s influence on game development.

The PlayStation platform exclusive, advertised as a “3D third-person action platformer,” will now be released on December 2nd, 2021. Previews have revealed a distinct visual style as well as colourful surroundings. Rei, the main character, must use her speed and traversal skills to scale huge creatures that stand in her path to prevent her planet from being consumed by a giant black hole.

To get the most out of Rei’s skills, the game appears to favour chaining movement abilities together. Alx Preston, Heart Machine’s Creative & Design Director, has publicly challenged speed runners to beat the game. The developers may have been persuaded by such a direct challenge to delay the game to ensure that speed runners are completing world record runs utilising real game features rather than exploiting a technical mistake.

Solar Ash’s postponement comes as no surprise after a year of game delays due to the pandemic. Although, there hasn’t been much advertising for a game that was supposed to be out later this month. As the year progresses, the gaming community has become more sympathetic of the problems that a production company has as it continues to work from home or in a restricted office capacity. A team of less than 50 individuals working on a game should be allowed some slack.

The delay is fairly short though, and I’m sure fans are happy to wait considering the success of Hyper Light Drifter.

Solar Ash will be available on December 2nd, 2021 for PS5, PS4, and PC via the Epic Games Store. Looking for something similar while you wait? Try Dead Cells, a difficult 2D Action based rogue-like. Or give the The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword remaster a go if you’re looking for another masterfully crafted 3D open world!

The post Solar Ash Exclusive PlayStation Release Date Pushed Back first appeared on Get2Gaming.

Plenty of new indie titles were announced and shown at Annapurna Interactive’s showcase and this is just one of many…

Created by Heart Machine, the minds behind the award-winning Hyper Light Drifter that pays homage to 8-bit and 16-bit games, showed gameplay footage for their second game, Solar Ash, and shared more details too at the Annapurna Interactive showcase yesterday.

What is Solar Ash?

Solar Ash is an action-adventure game that was debuted during PS5‘s reveal event at E3 earlier this year. Not a lot of information had been released, apart from the fact Heart Machine was ditching the 2D 8-bit graphics and embracing the beautiful graphics of the PS5. Now, more details have been released with its new gameplay footage.

The game has players journeying through a “surreal, vivid and highly stylized” world filled with “mystery, wild high-speed traversal, endearing characters, and massive enemy encounters,”- some of which we see in the trailer.

We see the game’s main protagonist, Ash, waking up in the palm of a titanic, then the trailer cuts to scenes of Ash moving across the beautiful scenery of the game that provides different types of ruins and fantastical qualities throughout. Some enemies also crop up that can only be described as massive and fantastical-looking insects and surprisingly adds even more beauty to the game.

The trailer goes onto show Solar Ash is being released on PC, PS4, and PS5 on October 26 2021, and will also be available to purchase from Epic Games Store.
