'Severed Steel' Gets Nintendo Switch, PlayStation and Xbox Release Dates, Physical Edition - Trailer

by Rainier on June 10, 2022 @ 8:54 a.m. PDT

Severed Steel is a single-player FPS featuring a fluid stunt system, no weapon reloads, destructible voxel environments, and a one-armed protagonist named Steel.

After losing an arm in an accident, Steel is abandoned – like many before her – by nefarious mega-corporation, EdenSys. In the name of all those crushed under the boot of her former paymaster, Steel sets her sights on revenge.

Inspired by games such as Black, Mirror's Edge, F.E.A.R., and Half-Life mod 'The Specialists', Severed Steel casts players in the role of one-armed protagonist Steel as she battles against the forces of nefarious mega-corporation, EdenSys. The game features bullet-time and a fluid stunt system that allows Steel to wall run, dive, slide, and flip around the destructible environments.

Steel's residual limb means she can't reload weapons. When a gun is out of ammo, she must find a replacement, which often means stealing a weapon straight from the hands of an enemy. During the campaign, Steel is fitted with a permanent secondary weapon – an arm cannon capable of blowing holes in pretty much anything that gets in its way.

It's you, your trigger finger, and a steel-toed boot against a superstructure full of bad guys. Chain together wall runs, dives, flips, and slides to take every last enemy down.

Severed Steel will be launching 20 July on PS4 and PS5, 21 July for Nintendo Switch, and 22 July on Xbox One and Series X|S at $24.99 with a 10% launch discount for a limited time.

The console versions will include all core game content currently featured in the PC version: Campaign, Firefight, and New Game + modes, 42 levels, 27 weapons, 5 arm cannons, and 22 game modifying mutators. 

The game's extensive level editor, which is a feature of the PC version, won't be included with the console editions, although a selection of user-created levels will be added as bonus levels to the PS5 and Xbox Series versions. 

In addition to confirming the console release dates for the digital version, Digerati can also announce it has teamed up with Merge Games to launch Severed Steel as a physical edition. Available this summer, the game will be available in a box on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Series X|S priced $34.99 / €34.99 / £29.99.
