Cinematic Campaign,"2089," Now Available

About 2089

The robot-plagued future is here, and it needs the perfect hero. It needs you. 2089, our first-ever cinematic campaign featuring a gritty sci-fi story and five linked scenes is our biggest update yet! Become John Asimov, as you use new weapons to survive an off-world plague of killer machines and unravel the mystery behind their violent uprising, all set to a sweet synth-wave inspired soundtrack.

This update also sees a complete overhaul of the user interface, LIV integration upgrades, some improvements to enemy behaviors, as well as reactivation of the “You’re Breathtaking” achievement. ːenteringsteamvrː

A new story-rich cinematic experience

Featuring tracks from Black Tiger Sex Machine, Draeden, Processor, and an exclusive remix from the legendary Magic Sword, the five linked scenes--played in order--make up the most we’ve dropped simultaneously, ever.

The campaign is illustrated through immersive cinematics by Comic Artist and Creator Fico Ossio, who has helped to bring life to some of our favourite heroes, including G.I.JOE, Transformers, TMNT, and Spider-Man. The campaign, inspired by some of our favourite 80’s science fiction films, also includes new enemies, weapons, models, mechanics, and more.



With this update, we hope to continually reinvent the classic action-rhythm FPS playstyle Pistol Whip is known for by continuing to expand our catalog of genres, not just musically, but cinematically, mechanically, narratively, heroically (what types of heroes you embody), and visually.

If you’re a veteran or have experience playing Pistol Whip, you can expect the difficulty of 2089 to be the toughest you’ve faced yet. Don’t worry, though; it’s nothing a trained hero like you can’t handle.



2089 will be our final update of 2020 and is our gift to all Pistol Whip owners this holiday season, coming less than a month after Pistol Whip’s first anniversary. From Immersive Reality Game of the Year at the 2019 D.I.C.E. Awards to former Myth-busting hero Adam Savage creating an awesome custom Pistol Whip controller, the last year has been truly exhilarating. We can’t wait to show you what else we have in store for the future of Pistol Whip with our next massive, game-changing update, Concierge, due Spring 2021.

Love,

Cloudhead Games
