The raddest game ever has been announced, mean RAD

During the recent Nindies Spotlight that Nintendo hosted, Double Fine, the creators of Brutal Legend and Broken Age, announced RAD, coming to Switch, with confirmation that it will also come to Xbox One, PC and PlayStation 4.

In RAD, players take on the role of a teenage protagonist who must venture into the Fallow - an ever-changing, radioactive wasteland filled with unknown and unspeakable creatures. It’s here that they’ll find the solution to heal the world, and transform the cracked, barren landscape into a lush source of new life. But humanity’s future comes at great personal cost, as the deeper they journey into unknown lands, the more they expose themselves to gnarly toxins which bless, or curse, them with strange new mutations.

The fate of the world depends on the player, a sweet bat, and whatever new abilities they gain as the world around them ravages their body — twisting and mutating them into something far less than human, but far more powerful.

“We’re excited to finally reveal RAD - and the post-post-apocalypse - to BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment fans worldwide”, said Hervé Hoerdt, SVP of Digital and Marketing BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment Europe. “RAD is a fantastic addition to our growing family of games developed outside of Japan, with a unique story, interesting characters and trademark charm created by critically-acclaimed US developers DoubleFine.

“The team at Double Fine and BANDAI NAMCO have worked so hard to get RAD together, and we’re so excited for our communities to jump into this wicked wasteland journey,” said Lee Petty, Project Lead. “We hope fans will enjoy the game as much as we’ve enjoyed building it.”

The game is going to have a beta on PC next month, so stay tuned for details.
