Republique will find its way onto the PlayStation 4 in North America and Europe thanks to Atlus and NIS America.
GungHo Online Entertainment America, a multi-platform publisher for the online gaming community, is partnering with Atlus USA, a publisher of deeply immersive and unique game experiences, in a North American retail distribution deal for the acclaimed episodic stealth action game République for the PlayStation 4 (PS4) computer entertainment system . Atlus USA’s expertise will bring a wide physical release of the game to a variety of retailers. Previously available on PC and mobile, PS4 players will be able to experience the entire season—including the fifth and final episode, Terminus—in one complete package when it releases early 2016 on the PlayStation Store and in participating retail stores in North America for a MSRP of $24.99/CA$34.99.
“With nearly a quarter-century of experience working with retailers to bring games to the masses, we are eager to lend that expertise to République and Gungho Online Entertainment America,” said Tim Pivnicny, vice president of sales and marketing, Atlus USA. “The mystery and excitement in the stealth gameplay of République is so unique, we’re certain that gamers would love to have a physical copy in their collection, and we’re honored to be able to bring it to them.”
In République on PS4, players finally take full control of Hope, a young woman held captive inside Metamorphosis, a shadowy totalitarian state ruled by the omnipresent Overseer. By hacking into this secret nation’s elaborate surveillance network, players and Hope begin a treacherous and thrilling journey to freedom. Seattle-based Camouflaj developed the game and has received numerous awards including “Excellence in Storytelling” from the International Mobile Gaming Awards (IMGA). République has 87 percent positive user reviews on Steam. The game is not yet rated by the ESRB.
“As one of the most celebrated gaming companies, Atlus USA. is the perfect distributor to bring République to retail in North America,” said Jun Iwasaki, CEO of GungHo Online Entertainment America, Inc. “Their vision to bring the mysterious world of République to store shelves will excite gamers nationwide.”

About the game
Now that République is on PS4, players can finally take full control of Hope, a young woman held captive inside Metamorphosis, a shadowy totalitarian state ruled by the omnipresent Overseer. By hacking into this secret nation’s elaborate surveillance network, players and Hope begin a treacherous and thrilling journey to freedom.
Seattle-based Camouflaj developed the game and has received numerous awards including “Excellence in Storytelling” from the International Mobile Gaming Awards (IMGA). With a 87 percent Steam user rating, République’s reviews have been positive.
Although it was previously limited to PC and mobile, now PS4 players can look forward to experiencing the entire season—including the fifth and final episode—in one complete package.
Key Features
• Hacking Gameplay – Throughout the game, Hope will seek the player’s support to help her escape and protect her in the process by gaining control of any network-enabled devices and overcoming puzzle scenarios along the way. Players can hack into security cameras, power down lights, wiretap calls, summon elevators, and slam doors on Hope’s pursuers.
• Engaging Story – République is more than a stealth-action game. By creating a gameplay system that drives the symbiotic relationship between Hope and the player, players become more engaged as Hope’s protector. Aside from the main story, players can help Hope collect banned books, cassette tapes, and other unique items that will further immerse players in this futuristic dystopian world.
• Developer Pedigree – République is developed by a team of veterans in the industry who worked behind AAA games such as Metal Gear Solid, Halo, F.E.A.R., and cutting edge videos such as the Skyrim television spot and iconic iPod “silhouette” ads. Players will also be able to eavesdrop on interactive developer commentary while playing the game.
