Get ready to escape The Backrooms in a different way when The Backrooms: 1998 launches onto the various consoles out there
After a long spat as an Early Access title for the PC out there, it looks as if The Backrooms: 1998 will finally be coming over to the consoles and giving the PS5, Xbox Series X, and Switch gamers a chance to see how this all flows out there. At least as fast as Feardemic can get them out on the platforms with the PS5 being the getting its listing first and the others still to come. Along with no release date for us all to look at too. Not the fullest of news for it all, but it does mean that we will be getting even more of The Backrooms dropped out there and to haunt all of our minds as we play through it all. As long as you have been holding out for the console versions up until now.
If you have missed out on The Backrooms: 1998 up until now, this is another first-person horror game that places us further into the setting that scares the internet a bit. Only this one takes us back into the ’90s and offers up more of a found footage feel than we have had in other versions out there. All with the extra grain and feel of the technology of the time as we roam freely in the maze of hallways and see if we can make it out alive in the mix of it all. Something that will be rather difficult to do with the various entities and other beings that are also roaming about the area. This is The Backrooms after all and it is going to test some of our limits out there. Have a look at how the game looks on the PC and expect the console versions to be about the same and maybe with fewer bugs now that it has been available by others for a few years now.
