Biomutant Gameplay Trailers Show The Game Running on PS5 & Xbox Series X

Today THQ Nordic released two separate gameplay trailer showing off the upcoming action-RPG Biomutant running on PS5 and Xbox Series X.

While the game doesn’t have native current-gen (it isn’t “next-gen” anymore, is it?) the trailers do mention that “more information on that will follow soon” possibly teasing that something on that front may be coming.

While the game runs on Xbox Series X at 60 FPS targeting 4K with the help of dynamic resolution, the PS5 doesn’t seem to get that far, as you can read below directly from the publisher:

“The footage you are about to see has been captured on a retail PS5. With this build, the option for native 4K on PlayStation has been deactivated due to stability- and performance-related reasons. What you see here is 1080p @60fps upscaled to 4K @60fps. It will remain deactivated for the release version, too.”

While there’s no video, the developer clarified that the game will run at 1440p at 30 FPS (with dynamic resolution) on Xbox Series S.

You can check out both trailers below.

Biomutant will be released for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on May 25, 2021. If you want to see more, you can check out the previous trailer and another.

You can also read an official description below in case you’re not familiar with the game.

A New Take on 3rd Person Combat
The martial arts style combat system allows you maximum freedom of movement and agility while mixing shooting, melee, and powers from your mutations. Learning new Wung-Fu combat forms through progression and learning from masters you’ll meet, will constantly add to your choices and make sure combat never gets old.

Evolve Your Game-Play
You’ll be able to re-code your genetic structure to change the way you look and play. This will of course affect your attributes and in addition to this, exposure to bio-contamination in the world will lead to mutations like the Turtleform and Mucus Bubble, while exposure to radioactivity found in bunkers from the old world will affect your mind and unlock psi-mutations like telekinesis, levitation and more.

Next Level of Crafting
You are totally free when crafting weapons. Mix and match parts to create your own unique 1H or 2H slash and crush weapons. Revolvers, rifles and shotguns and add modifications like cork-screws and battery-powered chainsaw modules to bio-contaminated sludge vials adding to your combat arsenal. There are even characters you’ll meet that’ll craft cool stuff for you, like bionic wings, a jump-pack and even let you modify your Automaton – the scrap-toy sidekick!

Gear Up for Adventure
You are totally free when equipping your character. Not only when it comes to choosing weapons you created, but what type of gear you wear. Equip a gas-mask and an oxygen tank for exploring the Dead Zones, thermos-resistant clothes for venturing into cryonic areas or protective gear for taking on bio-contaminated creatures, the choice is up to you.

Survive in a Vibrant Open World
You are free to explore the world and what lies beneath its surface, by foot, mech, jet-ski, air-balloon or area unique mounts. Explore the dying wildland, the tunnels and bunker networks of the underworld, and find your way up the mountains or out in the archipelago. There are lots of discoveries to be made, mysteries to unravel, creatures to confront, and weird characters to meet in this vibrant and colorful world.

An Unusual Story with an Unusual End
Your actions play a major part in the unfolding of a story where End is coming to the New World. A plague is ruining the land and the Tree-of-Life is bleeding death from its roots. The Tribes stand divided, in need of someone strong enough to unite them or bring them all down…
You are guided through the world by a Storyteller that narrates every step of your journey, but it’s your actions and choices that’ll decide how your story of survival ends.
