Piece of Cake Studios confirmed the release of Dark Hours on consoles. The title will arrive on April 22 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and Series S.
After its success on PC, where it sold more than 500,000 copies, the game seeks to consolidate itself in the console market with a different approach to survival horror.
A survival horror focused on strategic robberies
,
Dark Hours breaks with the classic formula of the genre. Instead of focusing on combat, it focuses on planning robberies
.
The players assume the role of thieves. They must infiltrate settings such as museums, casinos or nuclear plants
.
Every mission requires strategy. It includes security systems, puzzles and multiple obstacles that require coordination
.
Cooperation, tension and key decisions
The game allows for cooperative games of up to four players. Communication is essential to complete objectives.
However, it introduces a differential element: betrayal. Players can decide to keep the loot or abandon their teammates
.
This dynamic generates constant tension. Every decision can change the course of the game
.
Supernatural enemies and dynamic challenges
In addition to human risks, the game includes eight types of creatures. Each one has specific abilities and weaknesses
.
This requires us to adapt the strategy in real time. Observation and teamwork are key
.
The environment also plays a role. An activated alarm or an error can trigger critical situations
.
Customization and replayability
Dark Hours offers more than 100 customization options. It also includes a progression system based on mafia factions.
Each faction awards different contracts and rewards. This encourages different styles of play
.
The title adds additional modes. It includes competitive challenges and mini-games that expand the experience
.
A release that aims to stand out on consoles
.
The game incorporates cross-platform crossplay. It also makes it easier to connect friends for online games.
With four difficulty levels, it seeks to attract both new and experienced players. The Nightmare mode offers an extreme challenge
.
Dark Hours is positioned as an innovative proposal. It combines horror, strategy and cooperation in a format that can set trends within the genre.
