Publisher Devolver Digital and developer Sabotage Studio have announced a PS4 port for The Messenger.
The throwback action platformer / time-traveling adventure game is coming to the Sony console on March 19th. A free expansion, “Picnic Panic,” is coming to all platforms sometime this summer.
Here’s a rundown on the game:
