Virtue and a Sledgehammer Launches October 27
Developer Selkie Harbour and Deconstructeam have set an October 27 release date for Virtue and a Sledgehammer.
Action game Virtue and a Sledgehammer will release on October 27, according to a trailer revealed at the PC Gaming Show Tokyo Direct. The announcement was covered by PC Gamer, highlighting new footage and details about the project.
The title is developed by Selkie Harbour and Deconstructeam. The premise revolves around returning to a hometown to tear it down brick by brick. Players will also smash through androids that represent digitised former neighbours.
Destruction and Memory
Trailers for the game feature chaotic carnage and destructible environments that evoke comparisons to Red Faction: Guerrilla. Alongside the mechanical destruction, the narrative features psychological elements and flashbacks to the protagonist's past.
These flashbacks depict events such as visiting graves, hanging out with friends, and violent acts in the woods. The footage also incorporates unsettling therapeutic questions that grow increasingly deranged.
What You Can Do Now
For players interested in the mechanics and story, a demo is currently available on Steam. The game can also be wishlisted ahead of its October launch date to track further updates.
