The Awesomenauts community can now relax a bit in knowing that Awesomenauts Assemble has officially received its release date on PS4, and it's much sooner than we previously thought!
Releasing next week on March 4th, Awesomenauts Assemble will finally be available for purchase on the PlayStation Network Store. Again, this game will include all the up to date features and patches the PC version has, which is substantially more than what the Xbox 360 version ever received. This includes a roster of 16 characters to choose from, 4 stages to do battle on, and a plethora of fixes and improvements to make the experience that much more enjoyable. The game will only cost $10, which is a steal if you ask us. Even better, the latest patch on PC, Patch 2.2, just went live today too! It would more than likely be included on the PS4 version as well.
Some annoying glitches like the "droid sliding" and other features, like being able to join a custom game lobby without an invite, have been added to polish Awesomenauts even further. However, the more intriguing information lies on the new character buffs and nerfs that have been issued. Here is the full list of notes, so make sure to read up and plan ahead for your future matchmaking/co-op play sessions:
