Get ready, PlayStation 5 players! BIOMORPH, the highly anticipated side-scrolling Soulslike Metroidvania game, is launching on November 22, and it’s bringing some seriously exciting gameplay to Sony’s latest console. Developed by Lucid Dreams Studio, BIOMORPH has already made waves on PC, and now it’s ready to deliver its unique blend of challenging action, clever puzzle-solving, and mind-bending transformations to a whole new audience.
But what makes this game so exciting? Well, let’s just say it’s not your typical Metroidvania. BIOMORPH introduces a bold twist—one that lets you become your enemies. Sounds wild, right? Keep reading to find out more about the journey ahead.
Transform, Conquer, and Reclaim Power: Welcome to BIOMORPH
In BIOMORPH, you take on the role of a mysterious hero who’s fighting their way through a sprawling, interconnected world filled with monsters, traps, and secrets. The twist? Instead of simply defeating your enemies, you can absorb their powers and take their shape. Every creature you defeat can become part of you—unlocking new abilities, combat styles, and even exploration tools to help you navigate previously unreachable areas.
But here’s the kicker: the enemies don’t stay dead. As you grow stronger and more powerful, your enemies adapt, learning from your tactics and evolving. What seemed like a manageable foe can quickly turn into something far more deadly. This dynamic AI system ensures that no two encounters are ever the same—giving the game a sense of unpredictability that will keep you on your toes.
A World of Secrets, Choices, and Unique Builds
If you love a challenge, BIOMORPH is the game for you. The world is vast and non-linear, with 16 different environments to explore. From eerie cities to sprawling underground ruins, each location is brimming with secrets, hidden upgrades, and optional bosses to defeat. The game’s rich lore and complex narrative will also draw you in, revealing startling truths about your hero’s origins as you progress.
The customization doesn’t end with your shape-shifting abilities. The game offers a wide range of melee and ranged weapons, each with its own upgrade paths. You’ll be able to tailor your combat style by mixing and matching skills, creating custom builds that complement your unique playstyle. Want to be a stealthy, ranged assassin? Or a brutal, close-quarters tank? The choice is yours.
And if you’re a fan of challenging combat, BIOMORPH has you covered. The game is tough, but fair, and each victory feels earned. Whether you’re mastering a new set of enemy abilities or crafting the perfect weapon for your build, there’s always something new to learn—and enemies that will test your skills every step of the way.
Rebuild and Personalize: The City of Blightmoor
It’s not all about combat and exploration, though. In BIOMORPH, you’ll also have the chance to rebuild the decimated city of Blightmoor, a hub area where you’ll meet a colorful cast of eccentric NPCs. As you progress through the game, you’ll gather materials, make allies, and gradually restore the city to its former glory. Your choices and actions will impact the development of the town, making it feel truly personal. You can even customize the look of Blightmoor, so it’s uniquely yours—a home base to return to after your most harrowing battles.
Language Support and PS5 Features
The PS5 version of BIOMORPH comes packed with all of the quality-of-life improvements made to the PC version, including support for multiple languages, such as English, French, Simplified Chinese, Brazilian Portuguese, and Japanese.
Additionally, expect the PS5 version to take full advantage of the console’s power, delivering smooth gameplay, faster load times, and stunning visuals that make the dark, atmospheric world of BIOMORPH even more immersive. From the eerie glow of ruined cities to the terrifying creatures you’ll face, the PS5’s hardware will bring every detail to life in ways that will make you feel right in the heart of the action.
