After a year of exclusivity, Shedworks and Raw Fury’s open-world adventure game Sable is finally coming to PlayStation 5.
After a year of being unavailable on PlayStation platforms, Sable is again accessible on PlayStation 5. When it launches on September 23, 2021, the open-world exploration game has been well welcomed on its various supported platforms, including PC and Xbox consoles. Since then, PlayStation gamers have been eagerly waiting. Those PlayStation players who waited have been rewarded since Sable has officially been confirmed to arrive on PS5 with some interesting new content.
For those who are new, in the game, players take on the role of Sable as she performs a rite of passage known as the Gliding. Sable will journey over a beautiful but crumbling world of sand and memories of ancient civilizations for this rite. She won’t have to walk, thankfully, because she has a customizable hoverbike that can easily zoom through dunes and over obstacles. Sable will have to solve puzzles and learn a secret history along the route, adding richness to an otherwise lonely journey.
Sable’s PlayStation 5 release date is November 29th, and it will contain two significant updates. The first is a fishing mini-game that will be available on other platforms as well. Fishing will be possible across the open world, with players able to capture a wide variety of fish for their Vivarium in Sable. There’s also an Angler Mask to obtain for those who are really confident in their fishing abilities. Sable’s Vivarium is also increasing, with a variety of new insects added. The updates should give players even more reasons to explore Sable’s vast open environment.
The second inclusion is a function that is specific to the PlayStation 5. Shedworks has introduced support for the PlayStation 5’s DualSense controller and haptic feedback technologies. That may not be enough to entice Sable enthusiasts to return to the game, but for new Sable players on PS5, it should offer an attractive aspect of immersion to the experience.
Those who still own a PlayStation 4 and are looking for a PlayStation 5 in stores are out of luck. Gregorios Kythreotis, the creator of Sable, announced on Twitter that there are no present plans to bring Sable to the PlayStation 4. It’s unclear whether this is due to an exclusivity agreement or whether Shedworks just deems the PS5 version to be final and is ready to move on.
Sable was the first project of the two-person Shedworks company and its colleagues. Sable is not just a large open-world game, but Shedworks plans to distribute it on several platforms, including PC and console. It’s quite an amazing accomplishment, and maybe PlayStation lovers will soon agree that Shedworks is only getting started.
