Publisher Akupara Games and developer Clover Bite will release GRIME for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Switch alongside the free downloadable content expansion “Colors of Rot,” the companies announced. A release date was not announced.
GRIME first launched for PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG, as well as Stadia on August 2, 2021. The Switch version was previously announced for a summer 2022 release window, but the PlayStation and Xbox versions are new announcements.
Here is an overview of the expansion and game, via Akupara Games:
GRIME has rooted itself in the Metroidvania playerscape with its anatomical horror, Soulslike leveling progression, and innovative parry system. All this and more allowed developer Clover Bite the ability to bring the next addition to GRIME with “Colors of Rot.” “Colors of Rot” brings new abilities, new weapons, new enemies, and a whole new area for players to explore and uncover called Childbed. Use these new ranged-melee hybrid weapons and abilities to bring down the monstrosities you’ll find in this new expansion of GRIME!

In GRIME, you control a nameless embodiment of destruction and hack and slash your way through an aberrant landscape where rock-formed monsters rule. Armed with various “living weapons” and a black hole head, you consume the essence of the fallen to strengthen your vessel and unlock powerful upgrades.
