Dustborn's Weaponised Words Hit Home on PS5, PS4 in Early 2024 | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

Dustborn is a single-player story-driven action adventure game developed by Read Thread Games and published by Quantic Dream. It was first revealed back in 2020 and is now targeting a release in early 2024, and we got a new trailer at Gamescom's Opening Night Live.

Taking a page out of the Skyrim playbook, words are your weapons in Dustborn. You play as Pax, an exile and an Anomal, with the ability to weaponize language and fight by using Shouts and manipulating others in conversation with Vox. New words can be crafted in order to evade the authoritarian Justice as you attempt to smuggle a mysterious package across a vast, alternate-history American Republic, posing as a punk band.

This means rehearsals and a road trip of epic proportions as you journey from Pacifica to Nova Scotia, stopping off along the way to help out the locals in iconic locations and taking on unexpected assignments, and seeing the sights, time permitting.

Khayl Adam is the second best video game journalist Australia has ever produced, and his ambitions of world domination have (thus far) been curbed by the twin siren songs of strategy games and CRPGs. He has always felt an affinity for the noble dachshund, the best kind of dog.

I’d give it a chance if we could have more of a look at the gameplay loop. Will always give a narrative game a chance.
