Samson, the 1990s-set, gritty open-world action-adventure/brawler directed by Just Cause creator Christofer Sundberg that suffered a buggy release on PC earlier this month, is coming to consoles this fall (Editor's Note: IGN asked if "consoles" included Nintendo Switch 2 in addition to the presumed PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S, as Unreal Engine 5-based games like Samson have for the most part not shown up on Nintendo's new console so far, but a game representative could not confirm which consoles this does or does not include as of now).

I had no doubt it would, but I hear the game could use a lot of work so I hope they're also working on improvements in parallel.

Edit: Metacritic is 50, yikes.

According to the developer, patches will continue to roll out weekly into early May, "with Updates 3–6 focused on combat refinements, new car variants, performance optimization, and community-driven fixes." As far as adding more content to Samson, Content Update 1 due in mid-may will be "a dedicated combat expansion bringing new depth to the game's grounded, physical fighting system," while Content Update 2 in mid-June will deliver "a vehicle-focused expansion adding to the driving experience."

Liquid Swords told IGN that the team "is dedicated to ensuring Samson will grow significantly across quality, gameplay, and content. The studio is actively taking in player feedback on Discord and forums to inform its priorities for updates."

It'll land in the same category for me as Mindseye - going to check it out of curiosity when it's less than 5 bucks.
