Secret Ponchos Riding onto PS4 Today - Free with PS+

Secret Ponchos, the stylish, Wild West PvP shooter from Switchblade Monkeys, is available today on PlayStation 4, free to PlayStation Plus members during the month of December.

Inspired by fighting games and spaghetti westerns, Secret Ponchos is a top-down, PvP shooter featuring a dangerous cast of outlaws, each with their own signature moves and distinctive weaponry.

Customize your outlaw's stats to suit your play-style and raise the bounty on your head with every kill in team-based and free-for-all matches, including multiple game styles for 2-8 players. With split-screen play, go head-to-head with a friend, or even go online as a deadly duo.

Barreling into a room full of flying bullets is a quick path to a coffin. With Secret Ponchos' cover-mechanics, outlaws can duck behind everything from tables and walls to dirty bars to disappear from their opponent's sight while still being visible to teammates; perfect for setting up ambushes.

Secret Ponchos Gearing Up for PC/Early Access Release in Addition to PS4

Vancouver-based Switchblade Monkeys announced that its spaghetti western multiplayer combat game, Secret Ponchos, is not only rustlin' its way to PS4, but will also be coming to PC later this year.

The team is busy getting Secret Ponchos ready for a beta launch this summer via Early Access, allowing them to ensure the final experience on both PC and PS4 is the best it can be. With a game like this -- which blends exciting arena combat with the mastery of fighting games -- Switchblade Monkeys feels it's important to get as many hands on the game as possible during beta. Early Access will help them do that, while the additional balance and polish will carry over to PS4 and the final PC version.

"Since we first previewed the game at PAX East there has been an overwhelming amount of demand to bring the game to PC in addition to PS4, and we always promised we would do our best," said Yousuf Mapara, creative director at Switchblade Monkeys. "We realized Early Access would be the perfect program for this; it creates an environment where we can self-fund development of the PC version to make it a reality, in addition to exposing all versions of the game to a broader round of polish and tuning that you can only get when developing with an actual beta community of players."
