Knack announced for PS4

First announced at the PlayStation Meeting 2013, Knack is an action platformer that will take advantage of everything that the PlayStation 4 supports, from the graphics capabilities of the platform to the physics simulation necessary.

With the gameplay of Knack, the developers at SCE Japan are trying to focus on the essential fun behind the action/platform gameplay. Mankind is threatened by a resurgent goblin army and Knack steps forward to protect them – until it becomes clear that an even greater danger is posed by elements of the human community.

The Doctor studied ancient relics from a long lost civilization for many years, and finally found a way to bind them together and give them consciousness. The result is Knack, a creature with mysterious powers – for one, he can incorporate more relics into his body as he finds them, which allows him to transform from a three-foot tall creature into a gigantic wrecking machine.

During the game Knack also discovers that he has a skill that allows him to incorporate ice, metal and other substances into his body, giving him new abilities from level to level. The result is gameplay which is a little bit like Crash Bandicoot, and a little bit like Katamari Damacy.

Knack is currently in development for PlayStation 4.
