METAL: HELLSINGER Rocks Its Way To PlayStation 4 And Xbox One

Metal: Hellsinger may have just gotten shafted at The Game Awards, but it has been doing amazingly well, and with The Outsiders and Funcom work of love reaching 1 million players, they have announced it will be officially launching on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One with the release of its new update.

The 1.5 patch adds a new top difficulty, Archdevil, and gives players weapon skins to unlock and new combos to master. Metal: Hellsinger has earned a 98% overwhelmingly positive Steam score, and a Golden Joystick Award for Best Audio, a Best Music and Score nomination from The Game Awards. To thank all the players who voted for them and played the game, developers The Outsiders and publisher Funcom have prepared a free digital artbook, available in-game for all players right now.

In regards to the update, Archdevil is the fourth and highest difficulty after Lamb, Goat, and Beast. It will push players to the limit, with many stronger demons coming at them, and no last stand to rely on. A new Elite Seraph demon has also been added to the game. To aid the player there are new combos. Performing certain actions on consecutive beats, such as killing an enemy, soaring, then killing another, will award the player with additional fury and a higher score.

Players will be incentivized to replay and rediscover each map in order to find Coats of Arms Collectibles. Each level contains one hidden Coat of Arms at each difficulty, including Archdevil. Players can collect them to earn new weapon skins at certain thresholds and eventually complete the whole set for those truly dedicated. The update also includes a long list of bug fixes, quality-of-life improvements, balancing, and performance optimization. All in all, jumping into Metal: Hellsinger again or for the first time looks like an exciting adventure. For those who are about to rock, we salute you!

Metal Hellsinger is available on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One, and Xbox X|S.
