As revealed by Gematsu, last year’s excellent indie “neo-noir third-person horror shooter/love story” El Paso, Elsewhere, is finally making its way to PlayStation very soon with a PS5 release scheduled for September 6th.
As with PC and Xbox the game will be released digitally, but this announcement also includes the news of a physical release of El Paso, Elsewhere coming alongside the PS5 version. Pre-orders are already available at JB Hi-Fi for $59, and the physical release comes with an exclusive poster and a digital download of the game’s banger soundtrack.
You can check out the trailer for El Paso, Elsewhere’s PS5 and physical release below:
It was only a few months ago that a feature film adaptation of El Paso, Elsewhere was announced, so the game’s certainly been getting the support and recognition it’s deserved since it debuted last Setpember. According to Deadline, the film will “centre on James Savage, who while recovering from a toxic relationship, confronts both his inner demons and enigmatic ex-girlfriend, Janet, before she executes a world-ending ritual. James navigates her reality-bending universe of ethereal monsters while facing the truth of his own addictions and skewed sense of self-worth, learning that the only route to love is through healing.”
We gave El Paso, Elsewhere a huge 9/10 in our review last year, with James saying, “El Paso, Elsewhere takes a solid shooter foundation and elevates it with a compelling and raw look at humanity as told through a story of monsters and mythology. Outstanding performances, sharp writing, and some kick-arse combat collide to make a unique and memorable experience.”
