Sprawl is Coming to PlayStation and Xbox Consoles
SinceSprawlwas released over a year ago on PC, it also has an active community.Sprawlwas originally created using Darkplaces,a modded version ofQuake’s source engine, so to celebrate its first anniversary, the developers ofSprawlreleased a total conversion gameplay mod for the game that runs on the original Quake Engine. This mod makes the game feel more authentic to its inspiration.
Since the developers stated they were putting the finishing touches on these ports back in August, it’s likely to be coming sooner rather than later. There is no word on whether more platforms likethe Nintendo Switch or its successorare on the cards, however. When asked about a possible physical version ofSprawl, the account noted that if there’s enough interest, it would be something the developers would “love to do.”
