4J Studios’ popular high-octane party game revs up across all major platforms, introducing chaotic carnage with a brand-new “Versus” mode
Nintendo Switch players can experience new content and features with a free update today
DUNDEE, Scotland – March 7, 2024 – 4J Studios, acclaimed for its console adaptations of Minecraft, has today launched its first proprietary title, Manic Mechanics, on PC (via Steam), PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One. The Nintendo Switch edition of the game is also receiving a free update today including all-new game content and features.
First released on Nintendo Switch in 2023, Manic Mechanics is an accelerated, mechanically-minded addition to the chaotic couch co-op and online multiplayer canon. The all-formats launch introduces a host of new content, including a (potentially friendship-ending) “Versus” mode, a whole-new neighborhood, new characters, and entertaining twists to some of the most popular levels.
In Manic Mechanics, up to four players pull on their overalls and head to the auto-obsessed Octane Isle, looking to make a name for themselves as traveling mechanics. It’s a race against the clock to repair as many cars (trucks, choppers, tractors, mini-subs and UFOs…) as possible! The faster you work, the more chaos is unleashed; intricate mechanical processes are hindered by fuel spills, exploding tires, short-circuiting robots, stampeding cows, and even alien abductions, with hilariously chaotic consequences.
With over 30 levels to experience across Octane Isle’s six neighborhoods, this won’t be an easy ride. So grab your toolbelt, round up your friends and see if you have what it takes to become a Manic Mechanic!
Manic Mechanics is available to purchase today on Steam, the Microsoft Store, and PlayStation Store. A free update is also available for players on Nintendo Switch, giving access to all the new game modes and content. Own a Switch, but new to Manic Mechanics? You can grab the game today on the Nintendo eShop!
