News 'El Paso, Elsewhere' PS5 launch date announced

​

El Paso, Elsewhere is a Max Payne-inspired third-person shooter from developer Strange Scaffold which launched on PC and Xbox last year. After a period of console exclusivity, the game will launch on PS5 later this year.

​

El Paso, Elsewhere is a Max Payne-inspired third-person shooter featuring high stakes gun fights, supernatural monsters, unique slow-motion gameplay and an award-winning soundtrack. Players take on the role of James Savage, a narcotics-addicted monster hunter tasked with tracking down his ex-girlfriend Draculae, a vampire on a mission to end the world. Throughout the story, players fight their way through every bloody floor of a reality-shifting Texas motel to rescue Draculae's hostages and eventually confront the villain James once loved.

From the creative mind of Strange Scaffold studio head Xalavier Nelson Jr., El Paso, Elsewhere tells a compelling story of complicated love, addiction and self-worth.

"El Paso, Elsewhere will be Strange Scaffold's first-ever PlayStation release, and I couldn't ask for a better introduction to our studio's sustainable production principles, unapologetic style, and player-first attitude. To our wonderful partners at Nighthawk Interactive and the PlayStation gamers who will soon embark on our most ambitious journey yet, I can only say the same thing that James Savage soulfully speaks directly to the player in the closing moments of the game: thanks for believing," said Strange Scaffold studio head Xalavier Nelson Jr.

El Paso, Elsewhere releases on PlayStation 5 on September 6 and is available to pre-order. A film adaptation of the game is also in the works.
