With 20 days left for the launch, the developer Prime Matter published, on YouTube, a three-minute video focused on Scars Above gameplay. Highlighting, mainly, the exploration, crafting and, of course, combat experiences, the trailer shows how the title has interesting particularities.
Although it was seen a lot as a kind of “copy” of Returnal after its announcement, the game can distance itself a little from these appearances. And Scars Above’s new gameplay helps with that, as it features a very different gameplay. Especially in battles and in the issue of using fauna and flora to take advantage of the unexplored and mysterious world in which the player is inserted.
If Selene is lost on Atropos in Returnal, the Prime Matter game introduces us to Kate Ward, who is also an astronaut and is in trouble on a distant planet. The difference here is that the protagonist will not work alone against the aliens like the Astra ranger – but will be isolated on the battlefield.
In Scars Above, Kate Ward will have access to several futuristic weapons and will face the most varied creatures on this mysterious planet. Seeking to return home and find her team, she will investigate a colossal structure that now orbits planet Earth.
Scars Above gameplay is cool, but what about pre-orders?
The game will have versions for PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, and arrives on February 28th. However, one detail draws attention. Even after releasing the Scars Above gameplay video, the company did not start pre-ordering it. Na PlayStation Store, the title only appears as “advertised”, without the option to buy. Even the release date itself is not displayed.
