As for the PlayStation 4 version that was promised during the Kickstarter campaign, the company hasn’t revealed much these last two months, though the official websites still lists it as “coming soon” and in a blog update from December, the development had been halted until the final PC version release. It was confirmed in the same blog that once the PC version is released, the team would then begin work on the PlayStation version to meet the quality assurance standards set by the PlayStation team.  Starting in March, they will also be working with the H-Hour: World’s Elite community in bringing over some user-generated maps for free to the PlayStation 4 version once that releases.
