It looks like PC users will finally have a chance to check out this bastard, underappreciated child of Insomniac Games, as The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) has rated the Insomniac-developed open-world action adventure game. it won't be the first time we hear about the PC version of
Sunset, as "
Sunset Overdrive PC" popped up on the Korean Game Ratings Board website in May.
Back in 2014, the Xbox One exclusive received generally positive reviews (sitting at a very strong 81% on Metacritic), with praise for its fabulous visuals, traversal system, smart combat system, and funky humor. Unfortunately,
Sunset Overdrive has failed to interest players and its sales left a lot to be desired, meaning that we probably won't see a proper
Sunset Overdrive sequel anytime soon.
The game was announced at Electronic Entertainment Expo 2013, as one of the very few Xbox One potential system-sellers.
Sunset is set in 2027, in a fictional metropolis called Sunset City where humans have turned into mutants after drinking FizzCo's energy drink beverage. While Insomniac recently launched
Spider-Man, the studio has stated that
Sunset Overdrive 2 is still a possibility.
The city’s overrun with mutants. Problem? Not for you. Sunset Overdrive is an open-world playground of post-apocalyptic possibilities. Vault, grind & wall-run while using a deadly & unconventional arsenal. With hyper-agility, unique weapons, & customizable abilities, it rewrites the rules of shooters while delivering an irreverent adventure.
Sunset Overdrive launched for Xbox One in 2014.
