Foamstars arrives February 6

Foamstars isn’t unique, but it does offer a colorful, exciting shooter experience. An announcement trailer has revealed that the game launches on Sony’s console’s on February 6.

We got a taste of the game last year thanks to the open beta which ran from September 29 until October 1, and it was generally well-receieved. You’d be forgiven for confusing the Square Enix-produced open world beta with Nintendo’s Splatoon franchise, as both games feature players making a colorful mess.

However, Foamstars presents itself as a more action-packed party with options to fight solo or team up in 4×4 battles. The foam isn’t there for aesthetic reasons alone. You can also use it to slide on, build with it, and much more.

Only time will tell whether this is the iconic shooter Sony has been searching for. As a bonus, PlayStation Plus subscribers will be able to download the game for free from launch until March 4.
