Axiom Verge creator Tom Happ has made an announcement today that will make speedrunners very happy. Axiom Verge will have a dedicated speedrun mode. Axiom Verge is a Metroidvania style game that will be available on PS4, PS Vita, and PC. Axiom Verge is scheduled for launch sometime this year.
Axiom Verge seems that it will give every Metroid fan the 2D game they have been waiting for since Super Metroid; minus the Metroid universe. Axiom Verge will offer players new weapons and powerups as they explore a randomly generated world. Now all of this can be done with the newly announced “Speedrun Mode.”
In a statement posted today Happ said:
“Speedrun Mode is just one of the features I’m adding to Axiom Verge to make it the ideal game for diehard fans of the genre. Axiom Verge has been a passion project of mine for a really long time, so it will be very exciting to experience it with people who share my love for those classic games.”
It appears that Happ has put a lot of effort into making a game that will leave a mark to remember on the current gen console. Axiom Verge will be an indie game to remember on the PS4. Happ as also explained that he has put a lot of time into making sure the game has the essentials making it an indie game to remember. To see his full post click here.
