Check out the Official Console Launch Trailer for Rain World: The Watcher below:
The Watcher brings brand-new regions to the dark and grim world of Rain World for you to explore. You will encounter new creatures and experience a standalone story. The official press release details: Through ripples of time and space, the Watcher lurks in the shadows following the strings of the eternal darkness. Will you follow where the strings lead or turn against them, carving your own destiny in the forlorn world of Rain World?
In Rain World, you play as a nomadic slugcat who is both a predator and prey in a broken ecosystem. Using your spear, you will explore industrial wastes, and hunt for food to survive. As you explore the world in a Metroidvania fashion, you will come across bigger, dangerous predators in a procedurally generated world. With every update and expansion, the developers have added additional types of slugcat to the game, each bringing its own unique charm and abilities to the mix.
Rain World: The Watcher is now available on PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox. It was previously available on PC via Steam, where you can currently grab it for a 15% discount.
