Publisher Playtonic Friends and developer Knight Shift Games are excited to announce that alongside the PC via Steam, the highly anticipated rogue-like action platformer Elsie will also launch for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch. Console players will now be able to join the action and embrace the chaos when Elsie launches this summer. PC fans can add Elsie to their Wishlist and download the action-packed free demo now from Steam. Console players will be able to purchase Elsie via the PlayStation and Nintendo digital stores.
Elsie is a technicolor, hyperkinetic, rogue-like action platformer filled with procedurally generated levels and an army of robots to blast through. Since the console announcement during the recent Guerrilla Collective Showcase, Elsie has continued to excite gamers with its action-packed gameplay and replayability options. Playtonic Friends has released a new console announcement gameplay trailer showcasing Elsie's two playable characters Elsie and Andru as they shoot their way through boisterous bots and biome Guardians!
Along with this great news for console fans, Playtonic Friends is also thrilled to announce that Elsie will be participating in the Access-Ability Showcase on June 7th at 4pm BST/5pm CEST/11am EST/8am PST.
