Escape 2049 is a new platform game that’s planned for release on a number of formats both retro and modern, as we reported earlier this year.
One of the formats on which Escape 2049 is to be released is the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive, and Broke Studios’ Homebrew Factory publishing platform is currently taking pre-orders for a physical Genesis/Mega Drive release of the game, with a minimum number of 25 pre-orders required for the game to go into production. At the time of writing, seven pre-orders have been placed, with 20 days still left to run on the pre-order campaign.
Homebrew Factory describes Escape 2049’s story as follows: “in the year 2042, following a clandestine operation to expose the corrupt government’s activities, a hacker named Shun, a member of the Truth Defenders Coalition, was imprisoned in Bulor 24 Prison! Despite his escape, Shun was deeply affected by the experience and decided to give up, withdrawing from society. Seven years later, his partner Elena took up the fight again, more determined than ever to avenge what her husband had suffered.
Despite her extreme caution, the government had acquired AI-powered surveillance tools, she was discovered and imprisoned in a highly secured prison!”
The physical Genesis/Mega Drive version of Escape 2049 will include: the game on cartridge; a clamshell game box with full color inlay; and a full color manual.
You can place your pre-order now on the Homebrew Factory website, priced at 55.00 € EU.
