Vancouver-based indie studio Switchblade Monkeys has just announced that its spaghetti western multiplayer combat game, Secret Ponchos, is heading not only to the PS4, but also to the PC later this year.
According to the press release, the developers of Secret Ponchos are readying for a beta launch of the game this summer via Steam Early Access, allowing them to prep the game for proper release on both the PC and PS4.
“With a game like this — which blends exciting arena combat with the mastery of fighting games — Switchblade Monkeys feels it's important to get as many hands on the game as possible during beta. Early Access will help them do that, while the additional balance and polish will carry over to PS4 and the final PC version,” reads the release.
"Since we first previewed the game at PAX East there has been an overwhelming amount of demand to bring the game to PC in addition to PS4, and we always promised we would do our best," said Yousuf Mapara, creative director at Switchblade Monkeys.
"We realized Early Access would be the perfect program for this; it creates an environment where we can self-fund development of the PC version to make it a reality, in addition to exposing all versions of the game to a broader round of polish and tuning that you can only get when developing with an actual beta community of players.”
Secret Ponchos will be playable at PAX East. Expect more details to follow.
