Having been announced in 2013, developer Metanet has finally confirmed a release date for N++.
The platformer was announced at Gamescom in 2013 and is a sequel to 2008 Xbox 360, DS and PSP game N+. It will be released for PS4 on July 28th.
I have been waiting for literally years to say this: N++ has a release date!” Metanet’s Mare Sheppard said. We are so excited N++ is finally ready for release and we can’t wait for you all to finally get your hands on it – it is challenging, satisfying, and bursting with surprises. I can tell you with complete and enthusiastic confidence, N++ is the masterpiece we set out to make. It has turned out even better than we expected it to.”
The developer has also promised that thanks to the recent beta test the servers, which allow for the sharing of levels and videos, now work perfectly”. Which would make a change after recent launches.
We also streamlined the UI, tweaked the graphics and added lots of polish,” Sheppard added. Beta players had great feedback, and it was really helpful to see how people approach the game. We were especially happy to hear only positive feedback on the way the game feels to play, which is something we’ve spent the last ten years very finely tuning.
All in all, the Beta helped us make N++ even better, and it’s almost time for you to see what we mean.”
The game is currently available to pre-order at 20 per cent off. Its price will apparently be raised following a big post-launch update that will double the size of the game. 2,360 levels will ship at launch.
