What Dustborn is
Dustborn is an adventure game developed by Red Thread Games and released in 2024. It was published by Quantic Dream. It is available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Mac and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on Unity.
The premise, in the publisher's words
The year is 2030, three decades after the Broadcast. You play Pax: ex-con, outcast, con-artist, and Anomal with superhuman powers fuelled by disinformation. Your job: to transport a package across a divided America. But this is not a one-woman job. The fanatical Puritans are on your ass, the authoritarian Justice is in your way, and you’re four-months pregnant. You need help. You need a crew. Joined by a motley mob of misfits with their own weird powers, you must overcome the many obstacles that stand in your way — through manipulation, subterfuge, and force — to reach your final destination and escape your troubled past.
How it plays
It is played from a third person perspective. Its themes are action and science fiction. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component.

What it launched against
