As a seasoned gamer with a soft spot for the TRON franchise, I must confess my initial enthusiasm was tempered upon hearing about TRON: Catalyst. Don’t get me wrong, the isometric action-adventure format intrigues me, and the promise of Light Cycles and Identity Disc combat has me reminiscing about the good old days. However, the seeming lack of focus on biking in this installment leaves me a tad concerned.
The TRON series, initially introduced through the revolutionary 1982 movie, is ideally suited for video game versions (it’s worth noting that there have been more TRON video games than films at this stage). So it’s not surprising that a new game, slated for release in 2025, has been announced. This game is expected to coincide with the upcoming film, TRON: Ares.
TRON: Catalyst to release in 2025 alongside TRON: Ares
In 2025, Tron: Catalyst, created by Bithell Games (the team behind TRON: Identity – a visual novel puzzle game), will be available for play on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and personal computers.
To date, our understanding of Catalyst is limited to it being an action-adventure game with an isometric perspective. From the brief glimpses we’ve seen in the trailer, it appears to be a straightforward yet polished game that emphasizes parrying mechanics. Interestingly, biking seems to play a minor role in this TRON-inspired game.
The Steam page gives us a brief overview of the story:
Play as Exo, a highly resilient and resourceful program wielding an unexpected power known as the Glitch, gaining strength and abilities which the overlords of the Arq Grid’s crumbling society seek to bring under control. Ride Light Cycles, engage in Identity Disc combat, and more as you’re relentlessly pursued through the city and beyond by Conn, a malevolent program with an agenda of his own, while uncovering more about the glitches that threaten the stability of this world.
Based on what we currently understand about the storyline, it seems likely that the narrative will connect in some way to the happenings depicted in TRON: Ares, as both stories are set for release in the same year.
We do not have an exact release date or price yet, but we expect more news to be revealed soon.
Do you like the look of TRON: Catalyst? We’re unconvinced.
