In some pretty major news for the foam fandom, developer and publisher Square Enix has announced a release date for the upcoming frothy 4v4 party shooterFoamstars.
Confirmed in a recent press release,Foamstarsis set to launch for the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 on February 6, 2024. At launch the game will be available to download and play for free to all PlayStation Plus members as part of thePS Plusmonthly lineup.
If you are a PS Plus subscriber, you will have the chance to redeem it until March 4, 2024. It will then be made available to purchase for $29.99 on March 5, 2024 but will still require an active PS Plus subscription to play. Anew trailerhas been released alongside the reveal of a release date, which you can watch below:
After launch,Foamstarswill receive seasonal updates featuring optional battle-pass style season passes which will allow players to progress through reward tiers for additional items by completing missions. These will cost $5.99 each and provide those who choose to purchase them immediate access to newly added characters.
For anyone who is not already fully wrapped up in the hype and might need a quick refresher,Foamstarsis a 4v4 party shooter that very much seems to be a different take on theSplatoonformula. Coming exclusively toPS5andPS4, it features PvP multiplayer modes that challenge teams to coat various arenas with foam and defeat their opponents. Set in the soapy city of Bath Vegas, all of the action is all part of a fictional competition called the Foamsmash.
The game is confirmed to include both team-based PvP and co-op PvE modes, including the option to play randomizedSquad Missionseither alone or with others, which sounds like a fairly hefty amount of content to get to grips with out of the gate.
