"My user calls. May I pass?"
Okay, so here’s the thing — Flynn lives, maybe? I mean, we’re supposed to find out in October or something. But anyway, that’s not why we’re here. Right now, it’s all about Big Fan (yeah, they’re with Devolver Digital) and Bithell Games showing off this isometric action game, TRON: Catalyst, hitting Nintendo Switch as of now. Crazy stuff.
Picture this: we’re back in the TRON universe from TRON: Legacy — remember that? 2010 feels like yesterday, right? So, Catalyst is mixing it up with time-looping gameplay and some kind of intense combat, tangled into a story about a digital world that’s… well, falling apart because its creator went MIA.
Oh, and there’s a new trailer if you’re into visual storytelling. It paints this world that’s decaying faster than my Monday motivation.
Here’s the gist: you’re playing as Exo, some courier chick, doing her thing when a package goes kablooey — suddenly, she’s got these wild powers. Not your everyday kind of thing, right? Now, there are these peacekeepers — though how peaceful they are is questionable — and she’s gotta unravel whatever mess is burning through the Arq Grid.
Let’s break down what TRON: Catalyst throws at you:
-
It’s got this time-looping edge. Like, rewind and learn as you go. Exo’s gotta duck and weave through these looming grid factions, twisting out new paths and secrets. All thanks to these glitches messing up the digital vibe.
-
Iconic TRON Combat — get ready. Exo’s battling everyone and their uncle, on foot and Light Cycle, picking up mission bits and maybe figuring things out with a well-timed Disc Kick. There’s a whole upgrade system — fancy that.
-
New TRON narrative — gotta harness Exo’s strange powers, and there’s this "Glitch" mystery… Then there’s Conn, some shady guy from Core breathing down Exo’s neck. Sounds stressful.
- Discoveries! Roam these digital streets in their neon glory, rub elbows with top programs, and if that doesn’t scream futuristic chic, what does? Plus, there’s that synth soundtrack. It’s basically an electronic love letter to TRON’s vibe.
So yeah, rain-soaked streets inside a computer? Mind-bending stuff.
If you’re intrigued and have some loose change ($29.99, to be exact), it’s chilling on the Nintendo eShop. Want more juice? Check out bigfangames.com.
