Those who have kept their ear to the ground will have known for some time that No Straight Roads was gearing up to launch on PS4 and PC. Well, now you can throw an Xbox One and Nintendo Switch launch into the mix with the teams at Sold Out and Metronomik confirming a simultaneous launch at the end of June.
In fact, June 30th 2020 is the day we’ll be seeing No Straight Roads arriving on Xbox One (co-developed by Toadman Interactive), PS4, Nintendo Switch and PC, with the music based action adventure mashing up rhythm-infused combat with a vibrant offbeat world and a killer soundtrack.
It won’t just be digitally we’ll be seeing this launch either with the No Straight Roads Collector’s Edition featuring an exclusive double-sided vinyl LP with tracks from the game’s official soundtrack, a rockin’ 64-page ‘The Art of NSR’ artbook, official NSR drumsticks and a funky presentation box. This will be available for Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 players to fully enjoy.
Further to that, the Nintendo Switch version (co-developed by NeoBards) of No Straight Roads includes additional features designed to take advantage of the console’s unique functionality, including:
- ● Exclusive Assist Mode – Partner up with an additional local player to take control of the Elliegator, a secret alligator assistant who can help players in battle by picking up items, transforming props and calling in useful bonuses.
- ● 3-Player Co-Op – Played in conjunction with the game’s co-op mode, Assist Mode lets up to three local players experience No Straight Roads’ music-based action together, only on Nintendo Switch.
- ● Touchscreen Support – Use the Nintendo Switch system’s touchscreen to transform props and pick up items.
- ● Single Nintendo Switch Joy-Con™ Controller Play – Play through the entire game using a single Joy-Con, or pass the second Joy-Con to a friend to play in couch co-op.
“Fans have been asking for Nintendo Switch and Xbox One versions of No Straight Roads since day one, so we’re incredibly excited to bring the game to those platforms simultaneously with the PS4 and PC versions this June,” said Sarah Hoeksma, Marketing Director at Sold Out. “We can’t wait for players to embrace their inner rock star this summer with this musical adventure on their platform of choice.”
With No Straight Roads directed by Wan Hazmer, lead game designer of Final Fantasy XV, and Daim Dziauddin, concept artist of Street Fighter V, there is much hype surrounding this next adventure, and we’ll be sure to remind you to get involved as that funky June 30th release on Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch and PC rolls around.
