Over the past few months, you may have come across a game known as Samson - it's been highlighted at a few showcases, and it's being created by a new studio (Liquid Swords) formed by Just Cause creator Christofer Sundberg.
Unfortunately, Samson is just a PC game for now, but the developer has confirmed that a console version is planned. Following the PC release on April 8th, the idea is to "get cracking" on what we assume will be Xbox, PS5 and maybe Switch 2 versions.
Here's the confirmation from Sundberg himself:
"We get a lot of questions about console versions of @SamsonMcCray. The honest (and we're always honest) answer is that we don't know when. The game is running on consoles, but we don't have the bandwidth right now to start the final development. We have to go through the platform holder submissions and all that. Once the game is out on April 8, we'll get cracking on the console versions. (Almost) Nothing can stop us!"
While Samson may look very GTA-like at first, it actually seems like more a cross between Driver, Bully, Watch Dogs and unsurprisingly a bit of Just Cause, with the game notably focusing a lot on driving and brawler-style combat.
Various outlets have been hands-on with it recently, including IGN which had the following to say:
"As you can probably tell by now, I had a fantastic time in Tyndalston. If Samson can keep its mission variety fresh – which is no small thing, I recognize – it’ll go a long way towards making its campaign enjoyable over the long haul, versus the extremely fun hour I had with it. I’m curious to see if the city opens up more as the story unfolds, and I hope the story itself is engaging enough to keep me motivated to continue playing and isn’t just “keep doing jobs to pay down your debt until a big climactic mission happens at the end.”
Sounds good, then! We'll let you know if and when Samson gets an official announcement for Xbox along with a release date, and in the meantime you can check out some more details about the game along with screenshots down below.
Samson returns to Tyndalston, a city that shaped him hard, where every fight is close and every escape is earned. He owes dangerous people more than he can pay, and they’re using his sister to force his hand. The clock is ticking. The only way out is through anyone who stands in his way.
