Only a few hours to go and Spiders’ latest RPG, The Technomancer, will be available for all. With our review following close behind, since I’ve already put in more than a full day of play time. ‘Tis a large game, one might even say an epic game. As evidenced by both, well, the game itself and the above release trailer. Which, as usual, shows very little of actual substance, but absolutely nails the atmosphere. Whilst driving home just how important Earth is on the barren wastelands of Mars. But that leaves me wondering, in all this time, why has there been no contact? I mean, Mars’ technology infrastructure may have fallen apart, but why hasn’t anyone from Earth come visiting..?

The Technomancer will release tomorrow for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and at 1600GMT for £29.74 on our beloved PC.


Official Press Release

The Technomancer, the sci-fi RPG developed by Spiders Studio unleashes its Launch Trailer! The Technomancer will release tomorrow – June 28 – on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC and will be available for download and at your favorite retail store.

You are a Technomancer, a warrior with the innate power to harness destructive electrical powers amplified by cybernetic implants. Both respected and feared by all, Technomancers are trained for combat from a young age. As Zachariah, you are about to pass your initiation rite to become a fully-fledged Technomancer.

Combine three different fighting styles with your Technomancy to fight your way across the Martian deserts. But, as illustrated in our “Survive on Mars” trailer, not all problems can be solved with strength alone. Choose between combat, diplomacy and trickery to resolve quests. Gain experience to level up your character, and learn new skills or upgrade perks across 4 unique skill trees. Loot, buy and craft more powerful equipment and weaponry for yourself and for the companions you will recruit along your adventure, and with whom you will nurturing alliances, romance, or rivalries.

On the run from the Secret Police and confronted by the harsh realities of the Red Planet, you must undertake a quest that takes you through forgotten paradises, cities lost under the ice, and dystopian shanties sprawled across Mars’ dusty embrace. Faced with the cruelty of Mars’ iron-fist enforcers and alien wildlife, can you survive long enough to forge the destiny of Mars?

The Technomancer releases June 28 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. It will be available both for download and at your favorite retail store.
