Hey there, science lovers! So, July 22 is sneaking up on us, and apparently, it’s a big deal according to the folks in our lab coats. They’ve been crunching numbers and experimenting like mad, and what do you know? We’re ready to throw Abiotic Factor at you. Oh yeah, it’s this crazy cool co-op adventure. You could go solo or drag five buddies along, all stuck in some underground research place because some crusaders – why crusaders, I don’t even know – decided science wasn’t cool anymore.

In this gig, it’s all about using your noggin instead of your muscles. Gotta think your way out, fiddling with gadgets and figuring out how to skip from one weird portal to the next. Maybe you’ll make it out. Or maybe not. No pressure.

First day in the GATE Cascade Research Facility is, well… chaos. Imagine walking into a scene straight out of some mad scientist’s daydream. You start in this Office Sector – sounds boring, but nah, it’s you tackling all kinds of madness head-on.

Feel like raiding vending machines? Sleeping on couches? Cooking up alien meat? Heck, maybe even breaking into that executive restroom on the third floor. Just watch the radiation, right?

You’ve gotta build a home here using whatever you find lying around. Make it cozy, or just a little less terrifying, with maybe an office water cooler in your “living room” or some futuristic power gizmo to keep things humming. And yeah, maybe a bunch of laser turrets because, weirdly, that’s normal now.

Talking about enemies – they’re everywhere, from every universe you can imagine. You’ll cobble together gear from junk computers, alien stuff, and just… things you shouldn’t logically make sense of. But what do we know? We’re scientists. Bravery optional.

Outside of battles, there’s this whole farming thing. You grow stuff, you cook, you huddle around a heater with your pals, or maybe you find an abandoned forklift and… somehow it becomes a thing you do. Don’t ask why.

While wandering the halls, you might feel like running when things get hairy. But nah, you’re not a coward. You’ve got science! You’ve got a nerdy wristwatch! Tweak your gear, sip your coffee, and somehow you get through another day.

If you’re rolling with friends, everyone’s got their thing. Forager? Fighter? Chef? Just be you. Remember to drink water, alright?

This place – the GATE Cascade Research Facility – it’s this insane underground labyrinth. Secrets galore and all sorts of oddball wonders await. And somehow, you keep building up this bag of tricks to handle whatever bizarre challenge comes your way. You might even bump into other scientists. Friends? Foes? Who knows?

Before you know it, the journey blasts beyond the facility – into these wild worlds and other crazy realms born out of science and… whatever else. Clipboard-clutching mortals like us couldn’t begin to guess.

So, are you ready? Whether you’re the lunatic lab genius or the more cautious researcher, you’ll survive. Trial and error’s the name of the game. Grab your lab coat – and maybe your pals, too.

Whoever you end up being, jump into Abiotic Factor on July 22, right from the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog. See you at the GATE Cascade.

Here’s to the science!
