Samson will be released on consoles

Every now and then a video game comes out that is so bad you have to see it, or in this case, play it, to believe it. Last year it was MindsEye, a video game that's still making headlines nearly a year after it launched. This year it could be a tie between Code Violet and Samson: A Tyndalston Story.

The latter was released just 10 days ago, while the former dominated headlines in early February as one of the worst PlayStation titles to ever grace the digital storefront.

Samson is the third worst reviewed game on Metacritic so far this year, with a terrible 50. That's bad, but not nearly as bad as Tokyo Scramble (39 on Metacritic) and Code Violet (29 on Metacritic).

If more video game remakes are on the way, it's time to start remaking bad games

Good games already had their fun. Now it's the bad game's turn.

Still, it's not a very good game. It will come to consoles at some point, though, which is either a good thing or a bad thing, depending on who you ask.

You Can Experience Samson: A Tyndalston Story For Yourself Soon

In a recent update shared on Steam, the only place where the title is currently available to play, developer Liquid Swords shared a roadmap and overall plan for its title, including word that it will migrate to consoles.

“Finally, we know many of you have been asking about a console release. While we're not ready to share a specific date yet, we can confirm that Samson is slated to launch on consoles this fall,” the post read in part. “Thanks for sticking with us! We're excited to continue improving the experience together.

“We also want to thank you for playing Samson and taking the time to give us such thoughtful feedback about your experience!”

The window according to the roadmap is “Autumn”, so probably anytime between late September and November, if we had to take a guess. By then, the game will have received at least six major updates that should make the game smoother to play, as well as address community feedback. There will also be two content updates, one that will focus on combat and the other on vehicles.

“Consoles” is very vague, and IGN went the extra mile to ask representatives if the Nintendo Switch 2, where Unreal Engine 5 titles haven't appeared, along with the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, would be included. The representative “could not confirm which consoles this does or does not currently include,” IGN wrote.

If it's fun playing bad games, then you're full relatively soon. For now, might we interest you in Code Violet or Tokyo Scramble? Or how about MindsEye? Or even… Gollum.
