The critically acclaimed co-op adventure from Hit Start Studios launched on Steam to positive reviews in January of last year and it has now been revealed that it will be heading to Xbox and PlayStation soon. The two-player platformer challenges players to combine skills, communicate fast and make quick decisions to outrun hazards across a variety of levels. Does this sound like a bit of you? Read on to find out more about it, as Brave Escape is making its way to consoles early next year.
Per the team at Hit Start Studios “Brave Escape challenges two players to work together as Colin and Floyd – an unlikely duo trying to outrun a series of relentless hazards across hundreds of handcrafted levels. The game blends precision platforming with creative tool-based mechanics, requiring tight coordination, communication and split-second decision making.
In Brave Escape, each player takes control of a unique character, each with their own abilities and role. As players progress through themed regions – including Glacial Falls, Ember Caverns, and Serpent’s Hollow – they must master tools such as the Grapple Hook, Wind Gun, Freeze Gun, Flare Launcher and more. Every environment introduces new challenges designed to encourage collaboration and replayability.
To ensure accessibility for all skill levels, Brave Escape includes both a standard mode for platforming veterans and a Casual Mode, which introduces more forgiving timing, fewer hazards and a smoother difficulty curve – making it easier for friends and families to enjoy the full adventure together.“
Brave Escape is due for release on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 in Q1 this year. We will give you a definite launch date when we know more.
