The Messenger by Sabotage Studio was a big hit in the world of indie games when it originally launched August 30th of last year on Steam and Nintendo Switch with it’s retro charm and tight platforming. Soon PS4 owners will have their chance to experience what it’s like to be the coolest kind of paper boy as you make your way up a mountain to deliver and important message.
