No Straight Roads from local Malaysian studio, Metronomik, has announced a 30 June 2020 release date for the PS4! Wan Hazmer, the game’s director, revealed the date, as well as the game’s collector’s edition on the Playstation Blog.
The time to experience Vinyl City is approaching! Lead the musical revolution against the EDM Empire this coming summer. Why not get the collector’s edition to celebrate that fact?
This special physical edition has a bunch of exclusive collectible items, including a 10-track vinyl record featuring an awesome selection of tracks from the game’s OST, a 64-page The Art of NSR artbook featuring never-before-seen artwork, and a set of collectible No Straight Roads drumsticks, so you can jam out to NSR’s music at home. This edition is available for preorder now, so check on in with retailer availability.
Wan Hazmer talks about his time from having left Square Enix in 2017 – he was lead game designer on Final Fantasy XV – and learnt much about launching a game as a new indie studio. He thanks his partners at Sold Out for their support and making the collector’s edition a reality. In his own words, No Straight Roads is:
“… an action-adventure game that mashes together rhythm-infused combat with a vibrant offbeat world and a killer soundtrack. In fact, music plays a central role in the game, and while No Straight Roads isn’t a rhythm-action game, listening to the music can be critical to mastering the combat. This means that while enemies attack to the beat, players can attack, parry, jump and move freely in action-packed third-person combat, while listening out for cues to dodge enemy attacks.”

Two passionate indie rock band members, Mayday and Zuke, go up against the EDM empire, NSR, whose tight grip on Vinyl City is smothering the expression of other music genres. Play as this dynamic duo to lead the musical revolution in the city and fight back against NSR’s musical megastars!
With such a heavy empasis on music, it’s naturally important to the game! Wan Hazmer reveals a list of artists who’ve worked on the game including James Landino, Andy Tunstall, Funk Fiction, Masahiro “Godspeed” Aoki, Az Samad and Clyde, along with our music director Falk Au Yeong in service of delivering an incredible soundtrack that shifts between EDM and rock as you progress throughout each stage. You can give one of the tracks a listen below:
A sneak peek at 1010, NSR’s superstar boy band was also revealed. The coolest group in Vinyl City, you’ll need to ready up for a high-speed skirmish against these stylish stars “in a pop music encounter unlike anything you’ve seen before!”
We’ll see you in No Straight Roads for the PS4 this summer!
