The release date for Monstrum is finally set down and it looks like we are going to see Monstrum hit us all this coming May
The wait is almost over for those waiting to play Monstrum on the PS4, Xbox One, or Switch as it looks like the game will finally be here on May 22nd. It feels like it has been a long time since we first heard that the game was making the jump over from the PC to the consoles and Team Junkfish is wrapping it up. It has only been a few years since it was announced that Monstrum was going to do that and now SOEDESCO is making it a reality. Even in the mix of all of the slowdowns that the publisher is going through given the pandemic right now. Something that this one is also going to have a few issues with.
That said, this release for Monstrum is only for the digital version of the game on the platforms listed as COVID-19 has made the physical releases a bit more of a challenge for them all. This is not the biggest of deals given the digital age we are in and the physical is not something many of us need anymore. It also makes it easier for games like Monstrum to actually get out there in the mix of things like what is going on out there. That is a whole different rabbit hole to go down, so we will stick back to the launch here and the new trailer we have to go with the announcement of when console gamers will be able to experience this horror.
Monstrum — Release Date
On May 22, 2020, the critically acclaimed survival horror game Monstrum is coming digitally to PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. The physical release is postponed to a later date due to the current global developments related to COVID-19. Monstrum combines deadly AI driven predators and permadeath within a procedurally-generated container ship level, to create a truly re-playable horror experience on the open seas.
In Monstrum, players awaken trapped on a massive, derelict cargo ship with no knowledge of how they got there. Hunted by a horrific predator, they must scavenge the ship for clues and tools to find a means of escape. Left completely defenseless against a prowling beast; the only way to survive is to distract, hide, or slow the creature down before running for your life. Players only have one chance; permadeath and no save points means that once killed, they’ll have to start from scratch — so try not to get caught!
The procedurally generated ship not only ensures you stay lost in the labyrinth of rooms, pathways, and items that change with each new game but also randomizes the monster hunting you too… so brace for the unexpected.
About Monstrum

Death is permanent; get killed and you’ll be starting all over again. Can you survive Monstrum?
