Worlds Of Magic Coming To PS4 In Q3 2015
Strategy games used to be traditionally bound to PC for many reasons. However, even this genre is slowly expanding on consoles lately and it’s no wonder that Polish developer Wastelands Interactive decided to bring its upcoming title, Worlds of Magic, on the most successful console in the current market, Sony’s PlayStation 4. Founder Leszek Lisowski said in the press release:
We’re really happy that we’ve managed to partner up with Teyon to bring Worlds of Magic to PlayStation 4 platform. We believe that we have a true 4X gem in our hands. And we are convinced that having such an experienced business partner is a guarantee that Worlds of Magic PS4 launch will be a success.
As his statement mentions, Wastelands Interactive is partnering with Polish publisher Teyon in order to bring Worlds of Magic to PS4. CEO Michał Tatka added:
Up until now our company has been focused on the publishing and development of Premium games for Nintendo platforms. We are very happy to announce that Worlds of Magic will be our first release on PlayStation 4. The game is spectacular and fits the console perfectly
The game, which will be the first 4X (Explore, Expand, Exploit, Exterminate) game to be released on PlayStation 4, was crowdfunded on Kickstarter back in May 2013 by over 2K backers. The PC version is already available on Steam Early Access and will be officially launching on March 19, while console players will have to wait until Q3 2015.
