After all, this is what the PlayStation VR was created for.

The Persistence‘s developer, Firesprite, announced on the PlayStation Blog that the game will come in the middle of the summer, and that pre-ordering will earn you a few PlayStation Network avatars with concept art, as well as a pre-order discount if you have a PlayStation Plus subscription. Let’s talk about the game, though.

Quoting PlayStation‘s website, „The Persistence is a first-person stealth horror exclusively for PlayStation 4 & PlayStation VR. Set on board a deep-space scientific vessel called The Persistence in the year 2521, the ship arrives at the site of a collapsing star 17,000 light years from Earth. While conducting a major experiment, a horrific incident occurs mutating many of the crew. As The Persistence is pulled into the gravity of the collapsing star, the ship’s computer, IRIS, wakes remaining members of the crew from cryogenic sleep – one at a time. Can you stay alive long enough to save The Persistence?”.

The game will have procedural generation. Each time you die, the ship’s layout, as well as the enemies’ location/type, will change. Also, quoting PlayStation again, „Your friends can also help out by connecting to the game with their phone or tablet and hacking into the ship’s computer. Once in the ships system, players get to control doors, freeze or distract enemies, disable traps and find hidden items to scavenge for the VR player. Be aware though, sometimes; the tablet player gets rewarded if you die, do you trust your friends?”

The game launches on July 24, exclusively on PlayStation VR!
