Steel Crate Games has announced that Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, their bomb defusal party game, will make its way to the Switch and Xbox One on August 16. PS4 owners can already purchase the game through the PlayStation Store, but a “Non-VR Update” will be made available the same day to remove the PlayStation VR requirement.
If you’re unfamiliar with Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, the trailer embedded above should give you a pretty good idea about how it works. This quick overview, straight from the developer, is a pretty concise explanation as well (and as we all know, when you’re diffusing a bomb, every second counts)…
In Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, one player is trapped in a room with a ticking time bomb they must defuse. The other players are the “Experts” who must give the instructions to defuse the bomb by deciphering the information found in the Bomb Defusal Manual. But there’s a catch: the Experts can’t see the bomb, so everyone will need to talk it out… fast!
Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes is now available to pre-order through the Nintendo eShop and Xbox Games Store, and it can be yours for 10% off if you slam down on the “Buy” button before launch day.
