Shadows of Doubt llega a PS5 en septiembre 26 – Revelada una nueva jugabilidad de detective privado – PlayStation.Blog

Hi PlayStation players! I’m excited to reveal that Shadows of Doubt is coming to PS5 on September 26. We can’t wait for you to launch your investigations and begin tracking down your suspects when the game comes to PS5 next month!

Shadows of Doubt is an immersive crime-solving detective sim that puts players in the role of a private investigator, scouring the city for clues and evidence on the search for suspects responsible for various crimes and misdemeanours.

As a private detective, you’ll take on tasks and investigations ranging from theft and sordid affairs, through to kidnappings and murder, uncovering evidence through various means to track down your suspect. Our dream is for players to feel fully immersed as a PI wandering the streets of a dynamic, living city. You can buy and decorate your own apartment, while every street, building, and room is fully explorable, giving you the freedom to fully discover – and investigate – the sci-fi noir world we’ve created.

Everybody in the city has their own lives, their own living space, trabajos, friends, and daily routines. They’ll grab a coffee or have a dance at a bar. And with a serial killer on the loose, any one of them could be the next victim.

Equally, that means anybody could be the perpetrator, and it’s up to you to track them down. While each case is different, you’ll typically want to try a few tried and tested measures to get some early leads. Take out the fingerprint scanner to comb the scene for fingerprints, or if CCTV is available, scrubbing through it may help you spot any suspicious characters. There are lots of ways to gather evidence, from browsing call logs for recent contacts, or collecting sales slips thrown in the trash. Alternativamente, there’s always the option to take the more dubious route by bribing citizens for information, hacking private terminals or breaking into private apartments. There may be repercussions to your actions, but we’ve built Shadows of Doubt with multiple ways to solve each case, meaning you can always be the detective you want to be.

As well as improving as a detective and earning a chunk of cash by solving each case, the main form of player progression in Shadows of Doubt comes via Sync Disks, genetic updates that give you a permanent upgrade, and increasing your Social Credit level. Each time you find a Sync Disk in the city or receive one as a reward, you’ll be given a choice from a selection of upgrades, making for some interesting decision-making and introducing some RPG-like elements to the game. Upgrades range from traditional buffs like additional health or inventory space, through to more interesting modifiers that subtly change how you play the game. Social Credit levels act as a form of experience level that you gain when completing cases. There are a host of benefits that come from levelling up, from being able to buy property in the city to citizens being more likely to let you into their homes. There are a host of other benefits that I can’t wait for you to discover as well, but the overall idea is that you may choose to play Shadows of Doubt with different builds across different generated cities.

Exclusive to the PS5 version, we’ve been able to take advantage of the DualSense Wireless Controller to immerse players even further into the world of Shadows of Doubt. Feel the nuance of lockpicking through haptic feedback or – my favourite – feel the subtle pitter patter of rain when the weather takes a turn. Pero por supuesto, Shadows of Doubt wouldn’t be a true detective sim if you didn’t also have an umbrella at your disposal.

Shadows of Doubt has been a real labour of love for myself and the team over the last 7 año, and we’ve been so excited to see the response the game has already received. It’s a game that can be as deep or complex as you’d like it to be, and we’ve worked hard to build intricate systems that power the sandbox behind the game’s crimes and citizens to make it as fun and fresh to play no matter your playstyle. We can’t wait to see how you crack each case when Shadows of Doubt launches September 26 en PS5.
