Helheim Hassle gets PS4 Release Date

Last year, Helheim Hassle released on Nintendo Switch, PC, and Xbox One. Many people wondered if (or when) a PS4 version would surface. It turns out, PS4 players won’t have to wait that long. Perfectly Paranormal, the developers of Helheim Hassle has announced that the game will release on January 12^th for PlayStation 4.

If you’re curious about what Helheim Hassle is all about, this is what the press release has to say about the game. You can also check out our review of the Switch version here. “Helheim Hassle is a comedic macabre narrative adventure game, from the same universe as previous hit Manual Samuel, that is as much about friendship as it is about body parts. You play as Bjørn, a pacifist Viking who hates the idea of dying and going to Valhalla… who then ends up dying and getting taken to Valhalla.

When Bjørn is resurrected to assist with a task for the mysterious Pesto, he sees a way to negotiate his way out. Using Bjørn’s undying corpse with its ability to detach and combine limbs at will, players must solve challenging puzzles and navigate tricky levels in order to retrieve a certain magical item… In return, Pesto will try to grant Bjørn a permanent residence in Helheim – what a hassle!

Players will be tasked with completing up to 70 quests over 14 levels, requiring the use of all manner of different body part combos to complete the game’s unique puzzle-platforming challenges. On this adventure, players will come into contact with 80 different characters from all walks of life (and death) ranging from frustrated god souls, bear ghosts, dragons, elves, dwarves, and blue-collar goblins; all voiced by 24 professional voice actors delivering 3,700 lines of spoken dialogue!”

Ozan, Project Leader over at Perfectly Paranormal, commented on this upcoming release, stating – “Helheim Hassle was a huge success for us when it launched last year on Switch, Xbox One and PC, and we’ve been looking forward to bringing our offbeat humor and comical physics-based puzzles to PlayStation players for the last several months. We think fans of gallows humor, physical comedy, and environmental puzzles will get a kick out of this madcap journey through the Norse underworld!”

As someone who enjoyed watching (and playing) Helheim Hassle, this is great news for PlayStation 4 players. I can’t wait to see what Perfectly Paranormal has up their sleeve for their next release as well.
