Do androids dream of electric construction tools?
Virtue and a Sledgehammer, the upcoming game about defying self-improvement through destruction, is set to release on October 27, 2026. The trailer unveiled during the PC Gaming Show Tokyo Direct revealed the game's bizarre journey through the human psyche and its focus on smashing robots to bits. The game's developers, Selkie Harbour and Deconstructeam, reveal that self-improvement is fueled by hatred, not love.
The game allows players to return to their hometown and tear it down brick by brick, all while smashing androids that have digitized their neighbors. The trailer also showcased flashbacks of the protagonist's life, including visits to a grave, hanging out with friends in the woods, and strangling a woman in the woods. With its deep, emotionally nuanced storytelling and the ability to enjoy the act of destruction, Virtue and a Sledgehammer is a game that seems to have something for everyone.
Get your sledgehammer ready and prepare for a unique and thrilling gaming experience when Virtue and a Sledgehammer launches on October 27, 2026.
