Reikon's Metal Eden launched for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and via Steam
Developer Reikon of Warsaw, Poland has launched Metal Eden. The dystopian sci-fi first-person shooter and playable demo are available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Windows through Steam, published by Deep Silver.

The campaign set in the distant future, where humanity's consciousness resides within robots, spans locations from floating orbital station Moebius to the decaying planet Vulcan. Placing emphasis on player mobility, advanced battle android Hyper Unit ASKA can wall-run, slide, and leap to outmaneuver corrupted AI.


Music for the game is by composer and audio director Wioleta Wnorowska (Wiolation), responsible for composing and implementing music, audio direction and sound design. He is joined by co-composer Sascha Dikiciyan, aka Sonic Mayhem. Soundtrack preview "Behind the Mayhem – The Music of Metal Eden" is streaming on YouTube.

He writes, "With Metal Eden, I wanted to take a different path. While Reikon’s in-house composer Wiolation built much of the game’s cinematic score, my role was to create something else entirely: an artist record. A Sonic Mayhem album that stands on its own, but was inspired by the chaos, rebellion, and atmosphere of Metal Eden’s world."
