Hi, I'm Jess from FuturLab.
Since we announced the arrival of PowerWash Simulator on PlayStation (via our good friends Kenny Washmore and Jerry Klinsberg), we've seen such excitement in the community. So, as you can imagine, we're excited to give gamers a break when PowerWash Simulator releases on PS5 and PS4 on January 31, 2023.
In addition to this launch, we will also be releasing our first free special pack where you can explore and clear iconic locations and vehicles from the Totemic Tomb Raider series.
Let's take a closer look at what you can expect from PowerWash Simulator and the Tomb Raider expansion pack…
All is not as it seems in the town of McKingham. an active volcano lurks nearby, the mayor's cat is missing, and everything is very dirty. You will be tasked with cleaning up a variety of dirty places, from washing humble houses to discovering ancient architecture. With such a variety of places to hang out, you can clear your mind... "What's on offer in this city?"
But for all his quirks, McKingham cleans up pretty well... thank you. Even the locals noticed it. As you shake off every speck of McKingham's dust, you'll uncover secrets hidden in the dirt and objects on each level, and receive messages from customers that reveal untold stories about the places you visit. You know what they say, everything washes out.
Once you get down to business, word of your laundry prowess will spread quickly and business will start growing immediately. Earn money by completing tasks and reinvest in more powerful washing machines, stylish accessories and cool clothes to help you clean more efficiently (and in style 😎). No dirt can be too tough for you.
The whole point of PowerWash Simulator is for players to let go of their worries and completely disconnect from the real world; enjoy washing until you glow, without breaking a sweat or even getting off the couch.
Tomb Raider Special Pack
When you're done cleaning up Mackingham, you might be tempted to put your feet up, BUT WAIT... you're not done yet. We're thrilled to partner with Crystal Dynamics to bring players five new levels from the legacy Tomb Raider series.
In the Tomb Raider special, we focused on the infamous Croft estate, including its grounds and some of Larry's trusty dirt-covered vehicles on (and off) the road.
"Creating the Tomb Raider custom set was an honor and a fantastic experience," said Dan Checker, our lead designer at FuturLab. "We can't wait for players to approach Croft Manor and uncover its many secrets."
In a special set, we gave Lara a dangerous backstory and our players experienced their most dangerous adventure yet… cleaning up her beautiful home. Only the best will do when it comes to the Croft residence; Then sit back and brush off every speck of dust you can track as Lara regales you with tales of past adventures.
For a Tomb Raider fan who hasn't explored Croft Manor and thought, "I'd like to clean this place up," asked Dallas Dickinson, general manager of Crystal Dynamics' Tomb Raider franchise. “Now, with the help of Square Enix Collective and FuturLab, it's not only possible, but very useful.
"We know the community wants more exposure, and I'm excited to kick off our post-release Tomb Raider with this partnership," added Square Enix Collective Studio Head Phil Elliott. . "We've had tremendous support from players, press and content creators, and we wanted to do something special to say thank you."
We hope you enjoy uncovering the secrets of McKingham and Croft Manor when PowerWash Simulator hits PlayStation next week.
PowerWash Simulator will launch on January 31 on PS4 and PS5 with a special free Tomb Raider bundle.
