The horror and science fiction RPG by Cradle Games delays its release on PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC due to the coronavirus.
Hellpoint is a science fiction and horror title developed by Cradle Games that places us in a space station called Irid, a point that was once full of life and humans but is currently invaded by hostile aliens from another dimension. Initially its launch was set for this April, but as it has happened with many other games, the work has been delayed due to the coronavirus.
Another game more delayed by COVID-19
"In light of the unprecedented events facing the world, we have been forced to postpone the release of the game," says Cradle Games Creative Director Matt Boudreau. "We plan to use the additional development time not just for polishing but also to address the feedback we've gathered and make Hellpoint an even better gaming experience for everyone! The feedback from the community has been very enthusiastic and full of energy. "

As mentioned by some media such as PCGamer, Hellpoint's gameplay will point to the Souls-like style and will be reinforced by the "Quantic system" that makes minor adjustments in the game world every time you die. Additionally, it triggers events based on the station's 21-hour rotation around a black hole. It remains to be seen how the idea is implemented in practice, but for now the theory is fresh and interesting.
On the other hand, Hellpoint can be played in local and online cooperative mode, as well as in a PvP multiplayer mode. The new launch date has been set in this June, so it will not be an indefinite or as long wait as other titles that we have been looking forward to for 2020 have suffered. To open your mouth, we can already consult the official Steam page of the game and discover all its details.
