Press release:
November 22th, 2024
The Montreal-based (Canada) indie games developer Lucid Dreams Studio, are today very proud and glad to announce that their hand-drawn 2D Soulslike Metroidvania “Biomorph” is now available for the PS5 via PSN.

Backed by Ubisoft, BIOMORPH reinvents the genre with a unique twist: enemies aren’t simply just defeated — they grant you their powers as you transform into them, allowing you to harness their formidable abilities throughout your quest.

BIOMORPH is a stunning 2D Metroidvania adventure brought to life with beautiful hand-drawn art. Step into the role of Harlo, one of the last survivors of their kind, armed with a unique ability to transform into any creature they defeat. By absorbing the powers of fallen foes, Harlo gains new skills for combat and exploration. From sprinting faster and smashing barriers to unleashing explosive projectiles, biomorphing unlocks endless possibilities to adapt and overcome challenges. Careful strategy will be key to navigating this treacherous world.

Bash, slide, shoot, and embody the many creatures you encounter. Players can customize their builds to suit their playstyle, utilizing a variety of skills to tackle puzzles, unlock hidden areas and face powerful enemies. Explore ancient ruins, forgotten settlements and sprawling underground complexes while unraveling the mystery of a long-lost cataclysm. Master biomorphing to conquer every challenge and uncover the secrets that lie ahead.

BIOMORPH is now available on Steam, Epic Games Store and PS5 for $19.99 USD, and will be launching on Nintendo Switch and Xbox Series X/S in early 2025. The game is available in English, French, Simplified Chinese, Brazilian Portuguese and Japanese.
