Publisher Square Enix and developer Toylogic have announced details on the seasonal content planned for four-versus-four foam party shooterFOAMSTARS, which will begin with Season One: “Starry Pop.”
Get the details below.
■ First Season “Starry Pop”
“Starry Pop” is the first of many free seasons planned for the year ahead and will be available to all players from launch, beginning Tuesday, February 6, 2024, until Friday, March 8, 2024.
Rise in the FOAMSTARS‘ ranks by competing in two limited-time seasonal events, the solo player-based Ranked Party Lonestar and team-based Ranked Party Tribe-Vibe. There are seven ranks to progress though—Bronze Star, Silver Star, Gold Star, Platinum Star, Diamond Star, Superstar and Party Legend. Earning enough Rank Points allows players to take part in the Rank-Up Trials.
★ Extreme Party
Challenge players in two special themed modes; the All Mel T Party—where every player battles it out as Mel T, and the Invisible Party, where everyone is invisible. The first team to score ten chills on opponent players claims the victory.
★ Happy Friday Party
A weekend-only party event with no winners or losers, just the opportunity to try-out next season’s FOAMSTAR, Coiff Guy.
■ 2024 Roadmap
In addition to “Starry Pop,” the unveiled content roadmap showed upcoming plans for Season Two to Season Six. A season lasts approximately five weeks and brings a selection of new characters, maps, events, and cosmetics. Each season includes a new Season Pass, testing players to progress through the ranks by earning experience points (XP) through gameplay such as battles, missions, and challenges to unlock various rewards. A Premium Season Pass is also available for purchase, where players will immediately unlock Season Pass characters and can earn additional season-specific cosmetics. Everyone will get access to the new characters, modes, and maps, to ensure they are always part of the FOAMSTARS‘ party.
FOAMSTARS is due out for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 on February 6 as part of the Monthly Games lineup for PlayStation Plus members between February 6 and March 4. Starting March 5, FOAMSTARS will be priced at $29.99 and require a PlayStation Plus subscription to play.
