More players are going to have the chance to play the upcoming superhero epic Capes. While initially developed for PC, the game is now planned for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch, launching later this year.
This big change is mainly due to the partnership entered into by developer Spitfire Interactive with publisher Daedalic Entertainment. Spitfire Interactive is composed of former team members from Defiant Development, the ones responsible for Hand of Fate. Daedalic, meanwhile, publishes and develops high-quality games for all platforms.
Capes is a turn-based superhero strategy game where players need to assemble a team of unique heroes and fight to take back their city. The game is set in a world where two decades ago the supervillains won. Since then, they've managed to create a dystopian city and declared that developing superpowers is a crime. Nobody has been able to slow them down, until now.
