A MOMENT WITH... SHOWING OFF COOL RETRO-THEMED STUFF THAT’S GOING ON
Evercade levels up
Get the latest details on Blaze’s brand-new console
Evercade VS features built-in Wi-Fi which Andrew says will “offer upgrades and new features via firmware updates”, as well as the potential of online integration in the future.
BlazeEntertainment’s Evercade was our favourite console launch of 2020 and proved you didn’t need the latest tech to deliver a great gaming experience. It now has a new home console planned called the Evercade VS and Blaze’s managing director Andrew Byatt and marketing manager Sean Cleaver are here to tell you all about it.
When will Evercade VS launch?
Andrew Byatt: The Evercade VS is going to be available from 3 November 2021 and available for pre-order from May 28. The pricing will start from £89.99/$99.99/€99.99 and will be similar to how the handheld was released, with a starter and premium pack variant and a special collector’s pack with Funstock.
Andrew Byatt told us that four arcade packs will be available when the VS launches later this year.
What can you tell us about the new arcade releases?
Sean Cleaver: We’re delivering on the promise of arcade titles. The new arcade collections are going to have a purple spine design and will have a separate numbering system to the existing cartridges.
