Survive Unbox: Newbie’s Adventure’s multiplayer modes on PS4 with these developer tips

Hi, Andrew from Prospect Games here. It’s been a long journey but we’re extremely happy to announce that Unbox: Newbie’s Adventure finally arrived on PlayStation 4 this week! In addition to the single player story mode did you know you can also grab a friend and play the multiplayer mode? We have created five different exciting modes for you to challenge up to three friends to!

1. Boxing Mode

Each player is equipped with fireworks, you have to shoot at each other without getting blasted into the ocean yourself. We wanted this level to feel like a first-person shooter, but we think the fireworks are a lot of fun! Remember if you touch the water, you’re done! (Water is a box’s kryptonite)

2. Collect

All players will have to collect as much tape as possible. Tape will appear in random locations and you will have to collect as much as possible before the tape reappears in another spot! This game mode was designed to be extremely competitive, you can either try to beat your friends peacefully and collect the tape together, or you can turn it into a battle, sending them flying while you steal every tape for yourself!

3. Thief

Steal coins and ruin friendships! You will need to take the other players’ coins. The level is scattered with special fireworks that you can use to blow up your friends and steal their coins but every coin counts so be sure you dodge those fireworks!

4. Oddbox

Become the most wanted, avoid the hunters! Players don the Oddbox, a mysterious box of unknown origin. Whoever is the oddbox at the end of the game, wins. So it is up to you to hunt down the oddbox!

5. Delivery

Gotta go fast? Try Delivery, a racing game mode where boxes will plummet down perilous routes as they try to reach the finish box first! With 11 diverse local multiplayer maps and a fully customisable tournament, prepare for endless cardboard carnage!

Want to be an Unbox master? Here are some hot tips:

By holding down jump and rolling forwards, you’ll gain way more speed than just rolling along the ground. Careful though, you have less control of Newbie in the air!
Keep jumping! To get maximum air, make sure you jump THEN unbox.
In multiplayer, the player that comes in last will have a huge chance of getting “The Jericho”, a super firework that blasts the player in first position with six fireworks at once!
When playing Boxing mode in multiplayer, falling in the water will make you lose points!
When playing Thief mode in multiplayer, coins that fall in the water automatically get added to your score. Shoot a player who is Unboxing over a watery gap to earn lots of points!
