The bot-bashing chaos of Robots at Midnight is making its way to PlayStation 5 on August 28, 2025, courtesy of Snail Games and Finish Line Games. Following its June launch on Steam and Xbox, this vibrant, retro-futuristic action-RPG blends soulslike intensity with a colorful world teetering on the edge of mechanical disaster.
Searching for Family in a World Gone Haywire
In Robots at Midnight, you step into the boots of Zoe, a determined hero searching for her missing father on the once-luxurious planet of Yob. Once a glittering destination, Yob has been thrown into chaos by a planetwide blackout, leaving its mechanical residents corrupted and hostile. Players will face off against gangs of rogue robots, colossal bosses, and environmental hazards while uncovering the mysteries hidden beneath Yob’s shimmering ruins.
The MITT: Your Key to Combat
At the core of Zoe’s arsenal is the MITT—a space exploration gauntlet turned multi-purpose combat powerhouse. This high-tech glove delivers super-charged punches, electromagnetic blasts, overcharged lasers, and aerial propulsion. Mastering its momentum-based combat allows Zoe to vault off enemies, chain midair attacks, and smash through foes in spectacular fashion.
Play Your Way with Two Difficulty Modes
Robots at Midnight offers two difficulty modes tailored for different playstyles:
- Hero Mode – For players seeking exploration and story without the punishing edge of traditional soulslikes.
- Master Mode – A skill-testing gauntlet that demands quick reflexes, strategy, and precision.
“We love soulslike action, but we wanted to offer a combat-heavy rewarding experience that didn’t wallow in doom and gloom, with a more vibrant, colorful world to explore,” said Daniel Posner, Co-Founder at Finish Line Games. “We can’t wait for PlayStation players to experience it!”
Release Date and Platforms
Whether you’re here for the lore, the challenge, or the thrill of smashing bots into scrap, Robots at Midnight promises an adrenaline-fueled journey through a world where every fight pushes you closer to saving Zoe’s dad—and maybe Yob itself—before time runs out.
Robots at Midnight launches for PlayStation 5 on August 28, 2025.
