Sony Computer Entertainment America LLC (SCEA) today announced the North American launch of The Order: 1886™, a third person action shooter available exclusively for the PlayStation®4 (PS4™) computer entertainment system. Developed by Ready At Dawn Studios, award-winning developers of Daxter®, God of War®: Chains of Olympus (PSP® Game of the Year) and God of War®: Ghost of Sparta, The Order: 1886 rewrites history, delivering a narrative-driven video game experience set in a stunning and unique vision of Victorian-Era London. Players take on the role of Sir Galahad, a member of an elite order of Knights engaging in a centuries-old war that will determine the course of history forever in this believable alternate history. Powered by the PlayStation 4 system, The Order: 1886 delivers gorgeously realistic environments and immersive gameplay in full 1080p (Widescreen 2.40:1), bringing the game’s story – rife with conspiracy and intrigue – to life.
The Order: 1886 will take players on an intense, suspenseful ride, as Sir Galahad and the Knights of The Order protect humanity from “Half-breeds,” a centuries-old lycan foe that threatens the existence of mankind. Advances in technology allow Sir Galahad and the Knights of The Order to wield an impressive arsenal of powerful weapons and gadgets, invented in the game by Nikola Tesla, as they struggle to turn the tide against the Half-breeds. Even as The Order fights this ferocious enemy and unearth the reason for their resurgence, they must also navigate threats from a new rebellion of men, creating danger on all fronts.
The developer, Ready At Dawn Studios, pushes the technical boundaries of video game storytelling in The Order: 1886 to create an immersive and ambitious vision of London. Taking place in a Neo-Victorian London, The Order: 1886 brings one of the most stunningly impressive and stylish games to the PlayStation 4 system. With its commitment to realism and a filmic style that sets it apart, life in this alternate 1886 London skirts a perfectly balanced line between historical fact and modern fiction. With a focus on period research on design, technical marvel and environments, Ready At Dawn brings the living, breathing world of the Victorian era to life with a futuristic reimagining that will challenge what you think you know.
Featuring industry-leading graphics, The Order: 1886 blurs the line between game and film by using real-world motion picture and cinematography techniques that bring to life the dramatic performances by Steve West (Sir Galahad), Alice Coulthard (Lady Igraine), Graham McTavish (Sir Perceval) and Frederik Hamel (Marquis de Lafayette), culminating in a unique filmic presentation that fully immerses the player in the game world.
