Square Enix has announced a Splatoon-style shooter, Foamstars

Square Enix has announced Foamstars, a 4v4 multiplayer shooter in the style of Nintendo’s Splatoon.

Announced during a PlayStation Showcase on Wednesday, the third-person game will be released for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.

“In this game, foam is the ultimate resource,” Square Enix said. “It can be used in multiple ways: To create slippery surfaces that players can use to surf around the arena at high speed; to build terrain, helping players defend from enemy attacks or creating high vantage points to take out opponents; and finally, to foam up the opposition and win the match.”

Square Enix also used the PlayStation Showcase to premiere Final Fantasy 16‘s launch trailer, Salvation, which  is viewable below.

“In the launch trailer, we see the harsh circumstances faced by the Bearers, those born with the ability to cast magicks at will,” Square said. “And we see the truth that lies behind the Mothercrystals, long supposed to have bestowed blessings upon humanity…

“The trailer offers a glimpse of the first steps Clive Rosfield, the protagonist of the game, takes along a path that will see him take up his sword to resist his cruel fate. We also see the turmoil faced and the resolve shown by the Dominants, individuals blessed with the ability to call upon the dread power of the Eikons.

“As Clive and the Dominants follow what they each consider to be just, how will their ideals clash? What fate lies in store for the land of Valisthea? The curtain is about to rise on their story: we hope you’ll look forward to this tale of those who believe that the legacy of the crystals has shaped mankind’s destiny for long enough.

“Finally, the trailer includes a wealth of never-before seen information, including ferocious foes and new locations – so please keep your eyes peeled.”
