343iBot Posted June 22, 2020 Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 Ultracore is releasing on June 23, marking the end of a journey that has been stalled since 1994. The game, previously known as Hardcore, was cancelled by Psygnosis in 1994. It was due to release for the Amiga, Sega Genesis, and Sega CD, but the near-finished game was cancelled by its publisher due to the impending launch of the PlayStation, and the assumption that a game that wasn't 32-bit would not sell. Hardcore was to be one of the earliest releases of Digital Illusions, now known as DICE, the developer of the Battlefield franchise. Now, 26 years later, the game is finally debuting this week for two modern systems. Ultracore is releasing on PS4 and Switch, with a PlayStation Vita version planned to release at a later date. The game, which is a run-and-gun platformer with five stages, will cost $23, and is being published by ININ Games, which recently released the Darius Arcade and Console Collections. It's being released with an updated soundtrack, featuring 20 tunes from various synthwave and electronic artists.
