Release Information

The survival horror game Hollowbody is launching for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S on June 5. The console version will cost $17 on both platforms. The game originally released for PC in 2024 — see the Engadget article for details.

Gameplay and Style

Hollowbody is known for its PS2‑era graphics and survival‑horror gameplay, a remarkable achievement for a project created by a lone developer. Inspired by titles like Silent Hill 2, it leans more toward a cyberpunk vibe than a traditional creepy‑town atmosphere.

Reception

The PC launch was praised for its “unnerving” setting and “wonderfully disgusting” enemies.

Console Enhancements

The console version adds:

• Numerous quality‑of‑life improvements
• Bug fixes
• A third‑person camera mode
• New puzzles

While the game retains its classic feel, it does not enforce the iconic “tank” control scheme (where pushing up moves the player forward and left/right rotates them). That control style is available as an optional setting for purists.
