Renowned for creating the popular PC action game Moonray, Moonray Studios is creating waves with the news that the game will soon be available on the PlayStation 5. This is a critical strategic move for the corporation as it looks to grow into the console industry and draw in new participants. Moonray, which was first only available on PCs, will now be available on mobile devices. An auto-battler game is scheduled to debut in early 2025.
The initial PC version of Moonray debuted its alpha on the Epic Games Store in July. Players were introduced to its exhilarating combat and competitive multiplayer arenas. The game features thrilling 4v4 deathmatches and one-on-one duels, allowing players to hone their melee skills and climb the leaderboards. Players earn rewards such as unique character skins, motivating them to improve their gameplay.
In addition to the gaming experience, Moonray Studios has broadened its creative footprint by producing graphic novels set in the Moonray universe. Titles like “Mother’s Skin” and “Echoes of Ascension,” penned by Eisner Award-winning artist Brandon Graham, are available at major retailers, including Midtown Comics and Barnes & Noble. This narrative expansion continues with a partnership with animation studio ReelFX, aiming to bring Moonray to life through an animated series.
While the release date for the PlayStation 5 version remains under wraps, Moonray Studios is expected to unveil further details soon. Hans Andersson, the CBO and co-founder of Moonray Studios, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “I’m so excited we will introduce Moonray to a whole new audience of gamers! As a huge fan of arena combat games, I truly hope that Moonray can inspire players to try more games in the genre and that it encourages game devs to make more of them, too.”
The company’s ambitious aim to diversify its offerings is shown in its entrance into console gaming, mobile gaming, and animation. This well-timed addition coincides with the recent release of several games on the PlayStation 5 with themes similar to this one, underscoring a rising trend of incorporating a variety of gaming experiences onto console platforms.
Players may anticipate an enhanced game universe full of exciting and engaging chances as Moonray Studios sets out on this new adventure.
