The full 1.0 release is set for October 28, the same day the game arrives on Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S. The studio, based in Stockholm, Sweden, says supporting both current- and previous-generation consoles was a major challenge and that it spent considerable time optimizing for each platform. Version 1.0 completes the core systems and progression, with large-scale balance adjustments, optimization, and usability improvements. The base price rises from 2,900 yen to 3,980 yen in Japan, and from 24.99 to 29.99 US dollars overseas, with regional prices adjusted. SULFUR began Early Access on October 28, 2024. Players carry more than 60 types of firearms and hundreds of items, but death can cost everything brought along. The studio cites DOOM and Diablo as influences.","whyItMatters":"The price increase lands with the 1.0 build rather than with the console ports, so console buyers and returning PC players pay the higher rate from the first day.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe Nintendo eShop lists October 29 as the distribution date for SULFUR, while the overseas announcement gives October 28, a one-day gap between the storefront and the publisher\u0026#39;s stated release. Perfect Random plans free updates after launch, including new firearms and other content, and is considering DLC for 2027 and beyond. Multiplayer has been named as a post-1.0 goal but is not part of the 1.0 build. Between runs, players cook meals, organize inventory and upgrade equipment at a base, then decide what to carry into the next run knowing a death can wipe the loadout. Build variety comes from weapon attachments, oils and magical enchantments layered onto the guns.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 500,000 figure covers sales during Early Access only, according to the announcement. Perfect Random describes itself as a small Swedish indie team; the game ships with Japanese, English, Simplified Chinese, Korean and 13 languages total.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"SULFUR's 1.0 launches October 28 at a higher base price, 3,980 yen in Japan and 29.99 dollars overseas, up from 2,900 yen and 24.99 dollars.
