Popular Co-op Science Survival Game “Abiotic Factor” Coming to PS5 on July 22 – PlayStation.Blog

Oh hey there, fellow science enthusiasts! So, July 22 is creeping up on us faster than my cat when she hears the treat bag rustle. Anyway, why am I yapping about this? Well, it’s because there’s this new thing, Abiotic Factor, that’s gonna drop. And it’s not just any game – it’s like you’re an egghead on a wild ride! We’re talking secret underground lab, militant invaders, and guess what? You can drag your buddies along or tackle it solo if you’re feeling particularly brave (or antisocial, no judgment!).

Brains, not brawn, are your best buds here. You’re crafting, hacking, jumping through portals, and just, like, hoping you come out on the other side. Not that I have firsthand experience or anything, but it’s intense.

Oh, and there’s this video clip floating around somewhere—I caught a glimpse and now it’s burned into my brain. Not sure why, probably something in the coffee this morning. I mean, the way the scientists scramble around. Grabs your eyeballs.

Picture this: your first gig at GATE Cascade Research Facility and the place is pure chaos. Kicking off in this Office Sector place sounds… uh, quaint? But suddenly, you and your gang are running things, literally running (hopefully not into walls).

First survival tip: gotta eat, right? So raid vending machines, nap on couches—hey, we’ve all been there—and yeah, maybe cook up some alien meat (no clue how that works, but I’ll trust the game on this one). And if you don’t get zapped by radiation, you can even snoop around an executive bathroom. Third floor, apparently—fancy, right?

Finding stuff to build a home of sorts? Yeah, that’s a thing. From staplers to lasers, if it exists, you can repurpose it. Empty cubicles become your playground, more or less. And those scenic views of deserted office spaces? Well, I always thought cubicles were a kind of aesthetic.

Speaking of sci-fi crafting, prepare to get creative. Weapons, gadgets—whatever fits in your makeshift toolkit. Find gizmos even your brain can barely handle recognizing. Cowardice isn’t an option, you’re a scientist, right? Be brave.

When not in some alien skirmish, perhaps you’ll delve into farming. Hydroponics, they call it. Or go all culinary genius with alien dishes while your pals watch. Or, take a joyride on a rusty, abandoned forklift—dream big!

Fight smart, not hard. Scrub up those neurons and finesse your way out of sticky situations, leaving foes wondering what on Earth happened. Don’t skimp. Upgrade gear, sip some coffee, give yourself a pat on the back once you’ve got things under control.

Then there’s the team thing. Everyone’s got a gig: forage, fight, cook, build—mix it up. The thing’s got a dozen ways to play. Thirsty? Yep, keep that water handy. Dehydration’s no joke.

Alright, so this facility? It’s like its own spooky, sprawling underworld. Find hidden nooks, odd secrets, unlock weird realms—classic science fiction stuff. And bump into some eccentric scientists who might lend a hand or just slow you down. Typical, huh?

Before long, you step beyond just labs into bizarre parallel realms, peeling back layers of reality—or something along those lines. Forgot to bring my lab coat, but I’ll figure it out.

And to cap it all off, whether you’re the mad scientist type or just there for the data, you’ll wanna dig into all those scientific wonders. So bring a friend. Or a couple. More fun that way, isn’t it?

July 22 is D-Day for all the foolishly adventurous souls ready to dive into Abiotic Factor via PlayStation Plus. Okay, I’m done rambling on. Here’s to scientific chaos and whatever that brings!
