Its creators launched it in pre-release in the fall of 2024 on PC platforms, prior to publishing it completely, together with PS5 and Xbox Series X iterations, in the summer of 2025. Upon release, it faced heavy criticism. Just less than a third of its audience ratings were favorable.

When It Functions, This Game Excels

It's dizzyingly fast-paced and highly imaginative; when you mix and match your abilities alongside a partner's, you can create highly effective pairings.
