Publisher Playdius and developer Midgar Studio have announced the console release date for Hover.

The futuristic, multiplayer parkour game will launch for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch on September 19th. Featured above, you can view a new trailer for the game’s console release.

Here’s a rundown on the game:



Hover is a fast-paced single and multiplayer parkour game set in a futuristic 3D open world. The game takes place in ECP17, a high-tech city also called Hover City by its inhabitants and located on a distant planet. The Great Admin cut the communication with the Galactic Union and established a strong dictatorship. Having fun has become illegal and entertainment is banished.

You’re in charge of a team of young rebels, who fight against the new anti-leisure laws oppressing the city. Equipped with high-tech gears allowing amazing jumps and speed, roam the city to sabotage the propaganda, help citizens, and put an end to the oppression by reaching the Galactic Union!
