VA-11 HALL-A: Cyberpunk Bartender Action has entranced more than 300,000 PC players with its interesting characters, stories and settings. Now it’s time for the that action to come to consoles with the release of VA-11 HALL-A on PS4 and Nintendo Switch on May 2nd.
Set in a Cyberpunk Future in a place called Glitch City, players take the role of Jill, a bartender in a dive-bar that provides solace for lonely souls facing the brutality of their daily dystopia. Players will be able to engage in lively conversations with a variety of characters including a humanoid robot popstar, the editor-in-chief of a prominent magazine, a boy crazy hacker and others. The game changes with the help of mixology as Jill can create a variety of drinks which will have characters reacting differently depending on the drink and how much alcohol they’ve had.
“We wanted players to feel a sense of humanity in VA-11 HALL-A,” said Christopher “Kiririn51” Ortiz, co-founder, Sukeban Games. “Oftentimes we get so stuck staring at screens that we forget what it means to be human. Jill gets to hear all sorts of stories every night, from crazy to serious, and every single one of them is equally important to each teller. This influences the direction players take with the drinks they serve, making it a story-driven experience that’s personal to the player.”
VA-11 HALL-A will be available on PS4 and Switch for $14.99USD on May 2nd, and is currently available on PC and PS VITA. Support for English and Japanese languages will be available at launch with other localizations to be added to all versions later.
