Hover is Coming to Consoles on Sept. 18, 2018!
Band Together, Dash, Slide and Bounce Freely in a Futuristic Open-world, Featuring Cross-Platform Play and Help the Citizens of Hover City Defeat Oppression!
Paris — Aug. 28, 2018 — Independent developer Midgar Studio and video game publisher Playdius announced today that parkour game Hover will make its debut on consoles starting on Sept. 18, 2018 for $24,99/24,99€. Previously released on Steam in May, 2017 after a successful Kickstarter campaign, Hover will be available on PlayStation®4 (Sept. 18), and Xbox One (Sept. 19), and Nintendo Switch™ (Sept. 20) featuring cross-platform play between console players.
Hover is a fast-paced single and multiplayer parkour game set in a futuristic 3D open world. The game takes place in ECP17, a high-tech city also called Hover City by its inhabitants and located on a distant planet. The Great Admin cut the communication with the Galactic Union and established a strong dictatorship. Having fun has become illegal and entertainment is banished.
You’re in charge of a team of young rebels, who fight against the new anti-leisure laws oppressing the city. Equipped with high-tech gears allowing amazing jumps and speed, the rebels can roam the city to sabotage the propaganda, help citizens, and put an end to the oppression by reaching the Galactic Union!
