Sukeban Games and Ysbryd Games have announced VA-11 HALL-A: Cyberpunk Bartender Action will be coming to the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch in early 2019, marking its first appearance on home consoles.

Here's a quick rundown of the game from the publisher:

VA-11 HALL-A puts a twist on traditional point and click games with the story branching based on bartending decisions. Chat with customers and serve them life-changing drinks as Jill, a bartender at a dive bar frequented by average citizens in a cyberpunk future ruled by megacorporations.
With 24 drinks to concoct, there is no one correct drink to serve in any given situation, as characters are impacted by whatever cocktail they are poured. Every character that comes through has a story to tell which reveals more about both their lives and the futuristic Glitch City, run by the mysterious Zaibatsu Corp.
Explore what it means to be human by creating bonds with characters while listening to Garoad’s pulsating electronic soundtrack, customized in a jukebox-style playlist. Discuss transhumanism with Stella Hoshii, a human who has cat-like genetic modifications. Debate the finer points of morality with Dorothy Haze, an android sex worker. These are just two of the bar’s regulars, depicted in a cool, subdued pixel art style infused with anime and modern influences.

VA-11 HALL-A will be available via PSN and the Nintendo eShop for $14.99.

Originally released back in June 2016, it is currently available on PC and the PlayStation Vita. If you would like to find out what we thought of the game, be sure to check out our review of the PC release.
