In Midgar, the slums bustle with folks, mako reactors smolder, and the soil turns to mud; carried by breezes flowing via smog-filled air. The entire place might use dampen. Via the fog, a brand new hero emerges, clad in blue, wielding… a powerwasher.
Okay, so, you may not be capable of cleanse the world of the Shinra scourge, however you can simply straight up cleanse the world! While Avalanche offers with Shinra, you’ll take care of the fallout. The one energy battle you’re tasked with is holding maintain of that washer.
We’re proud to have labored with the Closing Fantasy VII crew to move PowerWash Simulator gamers to one in every of gaming’s most recognisable cities, in a recent and genuine approach. Gamers will fall in love with it as soon as extra within the new Midgar Particular Pack, releasing March 2.

The Mighty Scorpion Sentinel
Some of the memorable boss fights in Closing Fantasy VII is undoubtedly the Scorpion Sentinel, making it an ideal job for the Midgar Particular Pack. The participant will encounter the Sentinel earlier than its deployment towards the members of Avalanche, and right here it’s seen to have been put via a collection of checks by Shinra to guage its numerous defensive capabilities.

Moreover, the Scorpion Sentinel bears the results of a check with one in every of Professor Hojo’s specimens, as seen from the splats of bio residue current throughout the machine from this creature’s assaults. Because the Sentinel is powered by Mako power (my favorite new dust sort), now we have deposited it in key areas for instance how the Sentinel had been pushed to its limits. The remainder of the dust is usually grime that gathered through the numerous trials the Scorpion Sentinel underwent.
“When recreating the long-lasting Scorpion Sentinel in PowerWash Simulator we actually wished to make the Sentinel really feel alive, so numerous animations reminiscent of its roving eye and claws and might be seen. We additionally wished to have the ability to work together with it, so gamers can transfer the Sentinel’s arms to get totally different angles for cleansing.”

“Bars, particularly dystopian fantasy ones, are sometimes bursting with environmental storytelling and entice a wide range of dust. Tifa has needed to train Don Corneo’s disrespectful lackeys a lesson. So, we’ve fully coated the ground in footprints, splattered food and drinks stains on the tabletops and partitions, together with some normal age and neglect build-up in these hard-to-reach locations. This leads to a really satisfying cleansing expertise with a uniquely Closing Fantasy end!”
