Biomutant, the long-awaited post-apocalyptic open-world RPG from Experiment 101, finally has a release date.
After months of radio silence, the official Biomutant Twitter account has whirred to life with a simple declaration: the game is headed to PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC on May 25, 2021. It will also be playable on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X through backward compatibility.
The game follows an animal-like protagonist that will shift depending on what attributes players assign. There are a variety of bionic prosthetics, optional mutations, and powerful weapons available to use in tandem with a complex “kung fu” combat system.
Check out the announcement below.

THQ Nordic first announced Biomutant in 2017. It has been in the works since 2015 under the watchful eye of Swedish studio Experiment 101. The outfit includes several ex-Avalanche Studios alumni, and was founded by Avalanche’s former creative director Stefan Ljungqvist.
