Last year, Gearbox Software and Counterplay Games releasedGodfall, a brand-new online multiplayer title with a heavier focus on melee combat. With Gearbox’s latest looter-slasher being a success, its announcement at E3 for future content updates is no surprise. Alongside a new trailer for the game’s first expansion,Fire & Darkness, came the announcement thatGodfallwill also be heading to the PlayStation 4.
Godfallhad originally been slated as a timed PS5 console exclusive, with a PC release through the Epic Games Store. Since the window of its timed exclusivity has now expired, this allows for the title to come onto other systems. With this new backport release, fans who have loved otherlooter-shooters likeOutriderscan now get a chance to try this take on the genre when its PS4 version is scheduled to release June 28, 2025.
