Seoul, South Korea, July 31st, 2023 - South Korean studio PressA have today revealed that their side-scrolling battle royale shooter SIDE BULLET will be coming to PlayStation 5 later this summer as a free-to-play title.


SIDE BULLET is a free-to-play side-scrolling take on the Battle Royale shooter. Set in an urban concrete jungle, players will be pitted against both each other and strange monsters. Choose a fighter from one of eight cartels including Psychos, Special Agents, and Prisoners. Each cartel offers its own passive skill known as a Unique Perk, also  special weapons can be used together with active skills known as Perks. 
Use your guns in conjunction with your grappling hook for smooth, agile precision platforming. Defeat strange monsters to acquire more powerful weapons and supplies. Unlock perks as you play and customize your battle experience. Infinite possibilities await!


At launch SIDE BULLET will include Battle Royale Solo and Battle Royale Trio modes, more content will be introduced  in future updates.


As a free-to-play game, SIDE BULLET offers microtransactions, but these aren’t pay-to-win bonuses. Instead, there are Item Bundles, which include customizable cosmetic items, such as costumes, furniture, emotes, and more bundled together at a low price, as well as the Premium Battle Pass that allows players to earn various additional rewards on top of their existing Free Battle Pass rewards.


“SIDE BULLET uses a 2D perspective which allows you to see everything around you at a glance,” said Seong-Uk Kim, director of SIDE BULLET at PressA.


“It's a game that uses a variety of strategic elements - like smashing props to obstruct enemies’ view, or hiding behind terrain for a surprise attack - to keep you alive. You have to use your brain, rather than just your aiming skills. We really wanted to make a Battle Royale game that’s easy to get into but hard to master.”
