505 Games and Keen Games have today confirmed that their 3D action RPG sandboxer, Portal Knights, will be hitting Xbox One and PS4 this April – all whilst making its way out of Steam Early Access at the same time.
Come 28th April 2017 (3rd May in the US), Portal Knights will hit both Xbox One and PS4, signalling the end of its Early Access Steam program too. The award winning RPG sandbox title will see players adventure on a quest to become the ultimate Portal Knight. With 3D randomly generated sandbox worlds in place, unique environments, creatures to discover and resources to craft, Portal Knights will bring some immersive gameplay elements.
After winning Best Online Game at the 2016 German Developer awards, a whole host of enhancements have also hit home including larger worlds, improved RPG and combat elements, expanded class trees, random events, water, pets, NPC’s, quests, new resources, and trading.
The PORTAL KNIGHTS adventure begins as players create their character from a multitude of customization opportunities that can be continually enhanced with costumes and equipment throughout the game.
