Dust off your Cypher, because Capcom has announced that the Strider reboot is slashing its way to consoles and PC as a digital download this month.
The hack-and-slash platformer will release on the PlayStation Network for both PS3 and PS4 on February 18, with the XBLA (for both the Xbox One and Xbox 360) and Steam versions the next day, February 19. All versions will cost $14.99.
In addition to the release date, Capcom has announced “two all-new Challenge Modes and a slew of extras and bonus content that are sure to please Strider fans of all ages.”
“Beacon Run” challenges players to “hit consecutive checkpoints while slicing through enemies, in the shortest amount of time” while “Survival Mode” pits the player up against waves of increasingly difficult enemies.
Capcom has also announced that there will be global online leaderboards to track the Challenge Modes, as well as Story Mode times. The cherry-on-top is that players will also be able to unlock new sets of costumes in the Story Mode campaign, which means you can customize your Strider character to fit your personal style.
Strider is being developed by Double Helix Games, the studio behind Killer Instinct on the Xbox One.
