Sony Interactive Entertainment and The Bartlet Jones Supernatural Detective Agency have announced that Drawn to Death, the latest game from God of War and Twisted Metal creator David Jaffe, will be free for PlayStation Plus subscribers in April 2017.
The game will cost $19.99 for all non-PlayStation Plus users.
The game is launching on April 4th, and puts the player in control of various ridiculous cartoon characters from a high school kid’s notebook drawings. Described as a “highly competitive, fast paced, online action game,” Drawn to Death is a new take on the arena shooter.
Over on the PlayStation Blog, game director David Jaffe talked up five new features that will be available in the game at launch:
- Sphinx Missions: Wake the mysterious Sphinx and see if you can solve her eight battle-focused riddles. For every riddle solved, a new weapon — or a new level — will be rewarded!
- Character-centric Missions: Besides leveling up characters, players will also have the opportunity to work through 15 action-packed missions per each of the six launch characters. Earn costumes and rare Taunts as you work your way through your favorite characters. Master all of the character missions and you may come face to face with the Volcano God!
- Mystery Boxes: Who doesn’t love Mystery Boxes?! The Drawn To Death Mystery Boxes are filled to the brim with amazing character taunts and insanely creative character skins. Get a free Mystery Box just by playing three matches online and then earn Mystery Boxes for every 150 kills you execute on the battlefield!
- Climb the Tower: The Drawn To Death launch tower is based on the theme Dark Fairy Tales, and if you play in ranked mode, you’ll have a chance to reach the tower’s top, earning insane stickers for every floor you reach!
- Insane Mystery Special Offer: I’m not at liberty to go into detail or spoil the surprise but let me just say this: “Destroy my enemies and my life… is yours!”
