Ever since Triple-I Games first announced Hindsight 20/20: Wrath of the Raakshasa back in April 2019, we’ve heard very little about the single-player action-RPG other than a brief cameo at PAX East 2020. Today, the developer lifted its head above the parapet to announce that Hindsight 20/20: Wrath of the Raakshasa is now penciled in for release in Q2 2021.
Squeezed into the announcement is also news of a PlayStation 5 launch joining the already-announced release on PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PC via Steam. The next-gen version will harness the PlayStation 5’s hardware to offer 4K/60FPS performance, vastly improved loading times, and a visual boost thanks to better ambient occlusion, motion blur, and bloom.

Jehan finds himself torn between his forefathers’ pacifistic values and seeking revenge for his recently-murdered father. Morality-based decisions play a central role, as Triple-I explains:
To mark the occasion, Triple-I Games also conjured up a brand new trailer showcasing Hindsight 20/20: Wrath of the Raakshasa‘s frenetic combat in action.
