Whoa, I hadn't heard of this before but this looks fantastic! Day 1 whenever it comes out for PS4!

Q1 for PS4! Thanks... follow @MrAwolf & @SlainWBG on Twitter for updates too!

 

[Mr_D_]

What are they fighting over though?

 

[Mr_D_]

We are not going to make the early October window we were aiming for due to slower than anticipated progression with certain Boss fights.

Slain! has been in development for nearly 3(!) years now and naturally we want to give it every chance to succeed (this includes not getting lost among the slew of triple A titles launching in late Oct/Nov).

We are talking internally and will give a solid date by this coming Thursday! Thanks. And Prepare to be Slain! (soon, we promise!)

 

[Regiruler]

Will this push back the console release window as well?

 

[SURGEdude]

I'd like to know this as well. Lookin to grab it on PC and Vita.

Quite possibly but not by too much. We have currently have Slain! running on all consoles as of now..so it will just be a case of handling platform specific stuff once PC version has shipped early Decemeber, If console does slip it really won't be by too much! Q1 is still a good call.

 

[Who]

Looks incredible!! ... I really hate giving any type of critique towards a game when so many people, much more talented and passionate than me, have worked so hard on it but... It looks a weeeeee bit slow...would be curious to see how it looked/played a little sped up.

 

[Head.spawn]

Is this only coming to Wii U now or something? Whats up with the title?

 

[Leon Belmont]

I wishlisted this game long time ago, I can't wait to play it! Just make it available to pre-order on Steam please!

 

[pastrami]

Coming to all three consoles. It says Wii U because that was the last platform it was confirmed for (originally it was PC/Xbox One).

 

[Granadier]

Holy shit I need this game in my life.

Yo, props all around, but give a special shout out to your environment artists, that environment animation is just really adding that something.

Yeaaaaahhhhh! Glad it's coming along, thanks for the update.

 

[sora87]

I thought this was gonna be a game about the 2000AD comic.
Looks pretty sweet though.

[Zero²]

That axe is like almost as big as him.
Now we are talking ~

 

[More_Badass]

Combat looks a lot faster and more fluid than the alpha demo I played. That dash/dodge is new too

[Mr_D_]

Late Q1 2016

 

[Stike]

2016 is so stacked with games, incredible. Good thing I don't have to buy since I backed it on Kickstarter hehe

 

[Mr_D_]

We got Slain! running on the PS Vita last night. It looks great. Still aiming for back end of Q1 2016 for Vita/PS4 launch.

 

[wild wild rice]

This game looks amazing.

It looks great(and that's the version i'll buy), but on the oled vita it would look even greater try if you can(and post pics XD )

 

[outunderthestars]

The amount of cool games that are playable on a Vita is so damn awesome.

 

[Nosgotham]

What are they fighting over though?

Who's hotter?

 

[More_Badass]

 

[SmokedMeat]

I don't think there's a game releasing that I look forward to playing, more then this.

No joke.

 

[AEREC]

The pixel art on this is insane...looks great although its getting close to looking like a heavily aliased 3D sidescroller at times.

I want to hold out for the vita version but Ill probably get the version that comes out first and then vita version if it's good.

 

[MrS]

Looks really cool. Any chance of this ever coming to PS4?

 

[PaulKersey]

Yes.

And this is the first I've seen of it. Looks awesome and I'm in when it comes out on PS4.

You think I, a working man, have time to read through other people's posts?

Spoiler

Really though, glad it's coming. Shame it isn't sooner
