Press release:
MADRID, October 19th. Sony Interactive Entertainment Spain is pleased to announce that Melbits World, the PS4™ PlayLink™ exclusive from Spanish studio Melbot, will be released on November 14 through the PlayStation™ Store of Europe for 19,99€. PlayStation® Plus subscribers that preorder the game now will get a 20% discount. In this adventure, players will have to take care of four melbits that will have to travel from one end off the screen to another.

The Melbits are lovely and cute things living in the Internet, hidden between the wires, optical fibers, and connections. These adorable creatures were born once we started sending kitten pictures and other good stuff through the Internet. That binary data mixed with all the positive human emotions gave shape to these creatures, protagonists of Melbits World, a game part of the PlayStation Talents program that is about to hit PS4™ and PlayLink™!

In Melbits World, you have to help the adorable Melbits to find their way out of 36 levels full of dangers and hazards. The game offers unique cooperative gameplay that blends physical and digital play, allowing the whole family to have fun together. Melbits World won the Best Game of the Year award in the 2017 PlayStation Talents Awards.

Key features:
– Cooperate with your friends and your family to save the Melbits. The game is designed to be a fun experience for kids, adults and families!
– Discover an innovative take on classic gameplay where you don’t control the characters but the environment
– Guide the Melbits through the Internet during 36 levels scattered across four different worlds
– Every Melbit is different, collect as many as possible! Each Melbit has a different size, weight and speed and they are divided into families, each with its own unique traits
– Customize your Melbits with super cool apparel and accesories that can be earned throughout the game
