Tuesday, 5th April 2022 – Team17 and Balancing Monkey Games have today announced that cosy sci-fi city builder Before We Leave is now available on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4. To celebrate the launch, players can enjoy a 20% launch discount via the PlayStation Store until 19th April. Set across six unique biomes, Before We Leave sees players nurture groups of ‘Peeps’ – newly emerging survivors from global disaster – as they strive to realise their aspirations to rebuild a thriving civilisation. Along the way, they’ll chart new lands and research ancient technologies to build a prosperous future for all of Peep-dom.
Denizens of the burgeoning civilization should also be mindful of their impact on the environment and their Peeps’ well-being, while keeping an eye out for passing Space Whales – who can make short work of their planets.
Rub your peepers, Peeps, and check out the new Before We Leave PlayStation launch trailer below:
