Capybara Games Releasing Below On PlayStation 4 April 7th
/ Stephen CraneToronto developer Capybara Games have announced that Below is coming to PlayStation 4 on April 7th. As announced earlier this year this version of the game will come with a new Explore Update which is less stressful, and more approachable way to play the game.
The Explore Update features these changes to Below’s core rules:
No Survival Mechanics: Hunger + Thirst never drain.
Traps, Damage & Death: No instant kills + All damage depletes player Health slowly through bleeding, giving players a chance to recover.
Permanent Campfire Checkpoints: Checkpoints can always be returned to after death, allowing players to continue progressing deeper into the underworld with greatly reduced backtracking.
The Explore Update will also be available to Xbox and PC players at a later date for free.
And if you're wondering: Explore Mode will be arriving on #XboxOne & #Steam as a free update. Dates will be announced sometime soon. Big thanks to all of our players on Xbox One + Steam: Heartfelt THANKS for your love of the game & your support!💪💕💀
