The team at Dissident Logic have confirmed that they will be releasing their PlayStation 4 and Steam editions of smash-up brawler PaperBound starting March 31st 2015. This newly announced release date is only valid for Steam and the North American PlayStation 4 release. A PAL release of PaperBound on the PlayStation 4 is set for an unspecified date in April 2015.
In addition, the developers have also confirmed that AI bots will be included at launch in both versions of the game. The inclusion of these skillful bots allows solo players to enjoy the experience and is also great for simply filling out additional slots–perfect for team games with an odd number of players. Each particular AI character has their own play style and personality. For example, Juan Aguacate is aggressive and prefers melee, while Ninjeddy is more cautious and makes adept use of all available weapons. The bots also adapt to player skill level, and can be used in all game modes.
Dissident Logic believe that players will find the bots to be a challenging and welcome addition to PaperBound when they play it. Time will tell if this feature turns out to be a hit or miss however.
