Nova-111 Releases Today
LONDON – August 25, in the year of our Lord 2015
– And we have lift off! Indie developer Funktronic Labs and
publisher Curve Digital today announced that Nova-111, the
unique turn-based yet real-time sci-fi adventure, is now
available worldwide on PlayStation 4 and on PC and Mac via
Steam. Fans who purchase the game early will receive a special
promotional discount. Paying tribute to the spirit of space and
flight, the team at Curve Digital orchestrated a lift-off of the
PlayStation Vita version of Nova-111 into space via a specially
made helium balloon.
Nova-111 is a quirky sci-fi adventure game set in space that
utilizes an interesting in-game mechanic in which players must
manipulate both turn-based strategy and real-time gameplay to
fight alien creatures and solve puzzles. Players must take
control of the research vessel Nova and explore space to save
111 of the world’s greatest minds after the biggest scientific
experiment in the universe goes horribly wrong.
Nova-111 is the brain child of ex Q-Games developers Eddie Lee
and Kalin, whose previous work includes the PixelJunk series.
Since its initial announcement, the game has been a mainstay in
the American expo scene, taking home multiple awards at both PAX
and SXSW as well as a finalist nomination at Indiecade 2014.
Nova-111 will be available on Xbox One on August 28, and the
PlayStation Vita and PlayStation 3 versions will release in
North America on September 1. A Wii U version will arrive later
this year. Nova-111 is cross-buy enabled for PlayStation
platforms, meaning that players are able to purchase the PS4
version today and will automatically receive the PS Vita and PS3
versions upon launch next week.
Developed by Funktronic Labs and published by Curve Digital,
Nova-111 is rated “E” for Everyone by the ESRB and has an MSRP
of $14.99 for all platforms (PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3,
PlayStation Vita, Steam, Xbox One, Wii U).
