“MatterFall follows an unexpected hero fighting for survival on a ravished sci-fi world infected by a mysterious and deadly alien material known only as “Smart Matter”,” said Sony in a blog post. The game comes from Housemarque, responsible for the Super Stardust: Delta and Resogun, which Sony describes as its “favourite arcade action masters”.

And no, this is not Vanquish 2, as much as some of you might want it to be.

MatterFall release date rumours and platforms
If you were hoping to get Matterfall in your stocking over Christmas then you would have been pretty disappointed to open all your presents and find it not there. That’s right, there’s no official MatterFall release date just yet. We expect it will arrive around November in 2016 and that’s if there are no delays. GAME lists Matterfall as ‘TBC-2016’. We’ll update this page when we hear anything more, official or unofficial. In terms of platforms, MatterFall has been announced for the PS4 only at the moment but that doesn’t mean it will never arrive on Xbox One or PC. Read: 26 most anticipated games of 2015/2016.
