Enclave HD debuts on PS5 on December 5

After Enclave HD arrived on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch in June, the date of December 5 has been set for PlayStation 5.

Somehow it’s been over two decades since the original creation Enclave launched on Xbox in 2002. The medieval action RPG was developed by Starbreeze Studios, and the HD version from TopWare Interactive and Ziggurat Interactive adds updated visuals, an improved soundtrack, and some quality of life improvements. The results may not exactly be the most PS5 game in the world, but they do include exclusive haptic trigger effects for the DualSense controller.

You can see some quick, action-packed sequences in the PS5 release date trailer:

Enclave lets you fight as a good guy or a bad guy – very real technical terms – with six class options available for each faction. The story places you in the land of Celenheim, which experienced a rift between the forces of Light and Darkness a thousand years ago. The rift protected the people of Celenheim from the vile Dreg’Atar, but now that it begins to close, that peace may soon end. So it’s time for everyone’s favorite “unlikely” hero to stand up! Or you could just be a mean little champion of evil. It’s yours.

It’s been about, oh, 20 years since I last played Enclave myself, but I remember it being quite an engaging and challenging game at the time. I haven’t played the HD version yet, so I can’t personally say how well it will hold up in 2023. Either way, with this launch we’ll have Enclave HD on all major consoles.
