Ever since the first trailer for Biomutant debuted at, the quirky action RPG has been turning heads. Unfortunately for those looking forward to the game, it's been hit with one delay after another, missing its 2018 and 2019 release windows.
Official Biomutant release date information is still unavailable at the time of this writing, but an online retailer may have spilled the beans.European retailer Instant Gaming has the release date listed for March 17, 2020. March 17 falls on a Tuesday and wouldn't be a typical placeholder date, so it's a little easier to believe than some other online release date leaks. Even so, fans shouldn't circle anything on their calendars until an official Biomutant release date is announced by publisher THQ Nordic.RELATED:Even though Biomutant is a new IP from an unproven studio, the game has generated quite a bit of hype thanks to its exciting gameplay trailers and features. The studio has, and so it's understandable why there are quite a few who are excited to get their hands on the game.
Another reason why Biomutant has drummed up interest is due to its extensive character customization options. Allows players to fully customize their own mutant raccoon, from their sex to the length of their body to the color of their fur. But unlike most games where character customization is just cosmetic, the way players customize their creature in Biomutant will have a direct impact on gameplay.Player choice plays a large role in Biomutant beyond just the character creation tools. Players will be able to select upgrades for their character throughout the game, not to mention change the course of the story through their decisions.
That players have to keep in mind while interacting with other characters that they find in the open world.Whether or not all of these elements can come together to create a compelling gameplay experience remains to be seen. If the leaked Biomutant release date is accurate, then those looking forward to the won't have to wait much longer to find out.Biomutant is in development for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.MORE:Source.
Whenever I hear something new about Biomutant, my ears perk up. Developed by new studio Experiment 101 and published by THQ Nordic, Biomutant’s premise is intriguing and its art is striking. It's an action-RPG, but with cats.
Cats with swords, and guns, and kung-fu skills. There aren’t enough games about badass cats, and I’m glad something is being done about it.Biomutant has been kicking around in various stages for years now, and in 2019 it still looks mighty ambitious. Here’s everything we know about Biomutant so far. What is the Biomutant release date?Biomutant was set to release sometime in 2019. It's now 2020 but THQ Nordic hasn't made any mention of a revised release window.Developer Experiment 101, however, recently about the status of the game. 'We know many of you are wondering if the game is still in development.
Let us assure you that we've never been working harder and more focused on it than now!' The post reads.Experiment 101 goes on to say that it will 'reveal the release date as soon as everyone at our studio feels confident about hitting that date and that the game is ready for it.' Watch 15 minutes of Biomutant gameplay from Gamescom 2018. The latest chunk of Biomutant gameplay shows off a lot of ground and mech combat.
It’s interesting to see the game bounce between post-apocalyptic environmental undertones and whimsy (mostly captured by the omnipresent narrator). What kind of game is Biomutant?Developer Experiment 101 officially describes Biomutant as a “post-apocalyptic Kung-Fu fable RPG.” That’s a mouthful, but it seems appropriate for the strange vibes that Biomutant puts off. From the limited gameplay we’ve seen, it’s essentially an action-RPG with an ambitious “Mutations” system that changes the genetic makeup of your custom cat hero over time.There’s also a deep crafting system for making new weapons and armor. The gameplay demos so far have been fairly linear, but Biomutant is an open-world game with a 4x4 kilometer sandbox, not including its underground areas.
What is Biomutant’s story?Biomutant has a unique take on post-apocalyptic worlds. Instead of your typical natural disaster, Biomutant’s world was destroyed by a massive oil flood that rose from the ground.Experiment 101 has been cagey about the story, but it has emphasized that the choices your cat makes has a huge impact on the story. As an oil plague has infected the Tree of Life try to return vitality to the world, it’s your job to save it while uniting the world’s 'tribes.' The Tree of Life quest sounds similar to Mass Effect 3’s 'Galactic Readiness.'
Curing each of the Tree of Life’s 'roots' will increase your percentage chance of saving the world at the end of the game.(Image credit: THQ Nordic) Biomutant’s narrator speaks for every character in the gameAs far as we can tell, there’s only one voice actor in the game—the omnipresent and pleasantly British narrator. Not only does he narrate the constant action of your protagonist, but he also voices every NPC conversation.
It’s like he’s reading dialogue out of a fairytale, and it’s kind of adorable. There are several dialogue options in conversations, but we haven’t seen them impact gameplay. Your custom cat’s physique will affect its statsAt the beginning of Biomutant, players will tweak their cat protagonist’s genetic code to their liking—including strength, agility, vitality, charisma, and intellect. Shifting them around in the character creator drastically changes the physique of your cat.
They can be short or tall, buff or skinny, whatever you want. Stats have a direct effect on things like weapon damage, persuasion, and movement speed.(Image credit: THQ Nordic) Players will discover new physical and ‘Psy” abilitiesThe 'mutant' part of Biomutant comes from your cat’s tendency to pick up new powers when exposed to the post-apocalypse wastelands. We’ve only seen a few powers so far—a telekinesis ability that lets you hurl small enemies at each other, and an ability that stuns enemies and force them to attack indiscriminately by swarming them in moths. Biomutant's combat plays like Devil May Cry.

In a sit-down with YouTube channel, Biomutant representatives apparently compared the combat to Devil May Cry, and it’s not hard to see the influence. The combat is a mix of melee and ranged with the same lock-on style that DMC is known for. Melee is reliant on combos and crowd control. You can craft weapons out of random pieces of junkSupplies found in the open world can be used to craft unique weapons.
We’ve seen swords, staffs, rifles, and pistols so far. One sword might have bent stop sign reinforcing the base while another uses a monkey wrench as a grip. Biomutant’s simple 'Karma' system will change your endingYour actions in Biomutant will teeter a simple Karma meter back and forth between good and bad. Apparently, you’ll see a different ending depending on your Karma by the end of the game. It’s not yet clear if this directly connects to your percentage chance to save humanity, as mentioned above. Biomutant still doesn't seem close to being finishedGameplay for Biomutant has been kicking around for years now, but everything we’ve seen is apparently an early build. Supposedly it's still coming this year, but 2019 might be an unrealistic release window.
Biomutant’s system requirements are a work-in-progressLike everything else in Biomutant, its current system requirements are subject to change. But here’s what’s listed now on the game’s Steam page.Minimum. OS: Windows 7 or higher (64 bit). Processor: 2.6 GHz Intel® Core™ i5-750 or 3.2 GHz AMD Phenom™ II X4 955.
