With so many PS4 launch titles slipping into next year, it seems like a rarity to even type the words "PS4 launch title" these days. Thankfully, Bloober Team is committed to releasing their upcoming title, Basement Crawl, at least during the launch window and have revealed some new details about the game today.

Basement Crawl is a strategic action game featuring creepy characters, challenging environments and maze-based competitive multiplayer. Players will face off against up to eight players online in grid-based arenas as they race to set diabolical traps and explosives to hinder their enemies. Four classes are featured, each with their own variety of bombs and power-ups. Inspired by the likes of grindhouse movies and games such as Manhunt, Basemant Crawl is best thought of as a demented Bomberman.

Check out all of the details below, and as a bonus, the digital boxart for the game:

  • An Engagingly Unnerving Style: a ghoulish but entertaining presentation inspired by classic grindhouse movies, twisted horror films and even other games, such as Manhunt.
