Within the next three months, the Deponia "saga" will be completed on consoles. Sadly, this won't be happening all at once across all platforms, so I'm here to give you the exact dates on the latest Deponia release will be hitting your console of choice.
First off on January 30, Goodbye Deponia will be released on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
On February 27, Deponia Doomsday will be released on February 27 for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. This will be priced at $19.99 (USD) if purchased separately. Alternatively, you can buy the complete series with the Deponia Collection on this same date for $39.99.
Finally, on March 27 the first Deponia game will be released on the Nintendo Switch and Xbox One. The Switch release will run you $39.99. Additional releases on the Switch will be made available "soon." I'm not sure why the Switch release costs as much as it does, but I guess that's the cartridge tax at work? Also, why does the Xbox One get the first game after it gets the final entry in the series? So many questions, so few answers.
Deponia
In Deponia, the world has degenerated into a vast garbage dump, in which the crotchety Rufus ekes out his sorry existence. He is part of the lowest social class, doomed to live his life in literal mountains of trash. He hopes for an opportunity to get into the world of the rich, who live in a floating city high above the clouds.
Fate seems to smile on the snotty good-for-nothing when one day the attractive lady named Goal from the higher sector plummets into one of the trash heaps. Rufus decides to help the young woman out by taking her back to her husband. When he notices that Goal's husband is a dead ringer for himself, he hatches a diabolical scheme to gain access to the upper world. However, things don't work out quite as planned, since he has feelings for Goal which limits his usual unscrupulousness.
Features:
Goodbye Deponia
The Organon plans the destruction of Deponia, the lovely Goal has (once again) disappeared, and anti-hero Rufus just can't seem to stop getting in his own way.
All inventor and free spirit Rufus wanted to do was to get off the junkyard planet of Deponia and move to Elysium, the paradise orbiting Deponia as a spaceship reserved for the highest echelons of society. Goal, the ex-Elysian girl that Rufus has fallen head over heels for, still seems to be the key to his endeavor...and to the elevator that will get him to space. Finally, Rufus has come up with a seemingly perfect plan.
Deponia Doomsday
The flying city of Elysium has fallen, hideous Fewlocks inhabit the junk planet Deponia and Rufus is apparently the sole (human) survivor. He sees only one way out: Deponia must be blown up.
Terrified, Rufus awakes in his bed. Was that a dream or a vision? Fortunately, Rufus can check this right away as the oddball Professor McChronicle has detected several time anomalies. It's rather handy that Rufus finds a time machine and immediately sets out to duly muddle up the past, present and future.
