Burning Shores leaves PS4 out

The studio has also decided to keep the upcoming DLC PlayStation 5 exclusive. Guerrilla had released the base game for PlayStation 4 too, but this DLC will only be available on PS5. “On Burning Shores, since we can just focus on PS5, we’ve been able to charge forward and we’re really excited about what we’ve been able to pull off in creating this stunning post-post-apocalyptic version of Los Angeles,” the game director Mathijs de Jonge explained.

The decision now seems to be reasonable after looking at the trailer. The detailing in the game has definitely brought some competition for Final Fantasy creators’ Square Enix. Fans are commending Guerrilla for achieving realistic graphics.
