Your Grandad’s platform game this is not! Unruly Heroes features a simple to pick up, hard to master combat system across all 4 playable characters, evolving gameplay and surprises galore. With a background in not just AAA game development but also film, animation and TV, the team at Magic Design Studios bring a wealth of talent, vision and artistry to Unruly Heroes which shines through in every area from art style to character design, combat and animation.

“Journey to the West is a wonderful story, but it’s not widely  known in the West.” Yang Lu, CEO of Magic Design Studios & Creative Director of Unruly Hermes commented. “There are elements of the original Chinese folk tale in many popular manga and anime properties but the true origin of the story has generally remained unknown – we wanted to change that.”

Sebastien Delord, Lead Designer, added “On the surface, Unruly Heroes can be mistaken for a traditional platforming game but we really hope with the launch of the PS4 version we will be able to connect with a new audience who will really understand the amazing challenge that our game has to offer for lone players, groups of adventurers or those who like to go head-to-head against friends”

And those PS4 players who set out on a journey with Unruly Heroes will be the first to experience the brand new Challenge Update content which introduces 2 new difficulty modes, additional character skins and a photo mode plus an array of gameplay & control tweaks. This content will be coming to PC, Xbox and Switch at a later date.

Unruly Heroes will launch worldwide for PlayStation 4 on 28th May 2019priced at £17.99/$19.99/€19.99 –  Playstation+ members in all regions can take advantage of a 20% discount for one week from launch.
