Spain-based Badland Indie will bring the cyberpunk adventure Dex to PS Vita and PS4 in 2016.

Dex is a 2D side-scrolling, open-world cyberpunk RPG which follows the story of an enigmatic AI striving to reach the Singularity, an event in which artificial intelligence will surpass that of humans and all bets about the future will be off.

Explore the futuristic city of Harbor Prime and meet its many inhabitants, answer the challenges the city has to offer, roam the neon-lit streets, and augment your character gear with skills and implants.

Designed as a tribute to the classic RPGs from the 90ies, updated for a modern audience, Dex invites you to become part of a living, breathing cyberpunk universe as you decide which ultimate path you will embrace.
