Tron: Catalyst
Tron: Ares is set to hit cinemas in October 2025. But before that, players can explore the Grid in Tron: Catalyst from Bithell Games, Big Fan Games and Devolver Digital.
Tron: Catalyst is a top-down action game - essentially a hack-and-slash with RPG elements - set in the universe of the well-known Disney franchise. The focus is on Exo, a courier caught up in a conspiracy surrounding an impending server reset. The game stands out thanks to its distinctive, neon-soaked aesthetic, and it has plenty of lore connections to the films while still maintaining a sense of originality. The way the story is presented is reminiscent of visual novels, which is no surprise considering that Bithell Games' last game was called Tron: Identity. However, the story lacks depth and captivation, and the game world could benefit from more virtual life, especially outside the main narrative.
