Huzzah!
A RimWorld console release was today confirmed by Double Eleven and Ludeon Studios, months after the Australian Classification Board outed the release by refusing it a classification.
“RimWorld is a unique space colony sim driven by an intelligent AI storyteller that tasks players with directing their colonists to harvest materials and build a self-sustaining society,” its developers said of the title.
“Drawing heavy inspiration from classics like Dwarf Fortress, Firefly and Dune, RimWorld puts every choice in the player’s hands, from the health of their colonists to the style of their colony. Double Eleven has worked closely with original creator Ludeon Studios to produce a console version of RimWorld that is as intuitive and fun as the PC edition and stays true to its roots. Expertly crafting the game’s nuanced keyboard mapping to controllers, console players will be right at home as they begin to build their colonies.”
The ACB first refused classification to RimWorld in March before reviewing the title again. In April 2022, the title was issued an R18+ classification for high impact themes and drug use.
RimWorld is currently available on Windows PC and heads to Xbox One and PS4 on 29 July.
