Journey, The Order: 1886 Characters Coming to Super Time Force Ultra

Super Time Force Ultra on PlayStation 4 and PS Vita are getting more platform-exclusive characters heralding from Sony’s biggest games.

Joining the already large and diverse cast of Super Time Force is the robed figure from thatgamecompany’s critically acclaimed Journey. This little figure doesn’t lift a finger to fight on its own, but rather summons bolts of cloth to attack surrounding enemies. These cloth companions float through the air beside the figure as he jumps along, swooping down to lay waste to baddies. The Journey figure can also float up and across distances, which gives him a bit of an advantage in terms of movement speed.

Also joining the fray is Sir Galahad from another more recent Sony exclusive, The Order: 1886. Sir Galahad wields a pistol and an Arc Gun, a high-voltage weapon that can shoot balls of energy and be charged up for a more powerful long-distance attack.

At the PlayStation Experience last December, developer Capybara Games announced that Shuhei Yoshida, president of Sony Worldwide Studios, would be a playable character in the PlayStation-exclusive versions of Super Time Force. On the battlefield, Yoshida is a formidable foe. Using his cell phone, he shoots hearts at his opponents. But his ultimate attack is shooting Tweets, sending emoticons and other social media jargon in bursts at enemies. During a recent hands-on with Yoshida’s character, it’s safe to say he may be a little overpowered; he moves fast and his Tweets do significant damage.

Super Time Force Ultra is slated to launch this summer. The game will be cross-buy between PS4 and Vita.
