THQ Nordic published gameplay footage of Biomutant running on PlayStation 5 today – although it may be beginning to wish it hadn’t.

Furry business
Putting out your first-ever game as a developer is always going to be a difficult task, but when the project generates as much excitement as Biomutant has in years past, that weight of expectation must take its toll sooner or later.

Just take a look at how sporadically we've been able to cover BioMutant here on Push Square and you'll quickly come to understand why an update such as this was in dire need.
