Golem is an upcoming video game being developed by Highwire Games for the PlayStation 4 video game console. The game is being specifically developed for the PlayStation VR virtual reality headset.

Development

Golem is the debut game from independent studio Highwire Games.[1] Based in Seattle, the studio was founded in 2015 by former Bungie employees Martin O'Donnell and Jaime Griesemer, alongside Jared Noftle, co-founder of Airtight Games.[2][3] Vic Deleon, another former Bungie employee, left 343 Industries to join the development team as world art director and Travis Brady of Valve Corporation joined as character art director.[2]

Golem is being developed for the PlayStation 4 and will make use of the PlayStation VR virtual reality headset.[1] The game is developed using Unreal Engine 4.[2] Highwire approached Epic Games' Seattle-based studio for assistance on developing the virtual reality game.[2]

O'Donnell, who serves as the game's composer, launched a Kickstarter campaign to crowdfund a "musical prequel" to Golem, titled Echoes of the First Dreamer.[4]

Release

Golem was first announced in December 2015 at the PlayStation Experience.[1] The game was scheduled to launch on 13 March 2018.[5], but has since been delayed for further polishing.
