AMA: We are Blue Manchu, the team behind Wild Bastards (spiritual successor to Void Bastards). Our game is coming out tomorrow, so Ask Us Anything!
Hello people of r/PS5!
We are Blue Manchu, the studio behind the upcoming cosmic Wild West roguelike strategy shooter Wild Bastards - a follow-up to our previous title Void Bastards.
In Wild Bastards you will travel from planet to planet and recruit, manage, and gunsling with a team of 13 outlaws. Each of your gang members has their own weaponry, special power, personality, relationships, and growth tree. When you land on the surface of a planet, you’ll wrangle loot and start showdowns that are then played out in intense, bite-sized shootouts. But before you land, you’ll need to evaluate each planet’s terrain, enemies, and traits so that you can select the best gang members for the job. And don’t forget - once you’re on the surface, collect that sweet loot, permanent mods, and use special locations carefully to turn the odds in your favour. But make sure you get out before the puritanical magnate Jebediah Chaste and his crew catch up to you!
Wild Bastards is coming to PlayStation 5 tomorrow, on the 12th of September.
To give you a better idea, here is our game’s trailer: Wild Bastards Release Date Trailer

We will start our AMA at 9am PT / 12pm EDT / 4pm UTC / 6pm CEST, but you can already leave some questions for us which we will tackle and answer as soon as we come in.
So, if you would like to know more about our game, what inspired Wild Bastards, questions on game development, our previous titles, our favourite food/shows/movies, and/or anything at all, just ask away!
With that note, let the AMA begin!!!!!
EDIT: Alright, we have to wrap it up and take a break - tomorrow is our launch day! Saying that, we will be floating in and out of this post, so please keep the questions coming. We will answer any leftover questions that you might have. And it goes without saying - thanks for having us! It was a blast to hang out with you all. Hope you feel the same.
