The first video game revealed for the PlayStation 4 from Sony was Knack and the development team working on the title is ready to offer a little more information on both the gameplay and the story of the experience.

Knack will start as a small robot that will be able to join with up to 5,000 new shards in the game world in order to grow and develop new abilities, according to information from Game Informer cited by Gaming Everything.

An invisible force holds the entire robot together and allows him to perform impressive moves in order to dodge enemies and weapons.

Knack will have dozens of enemy types for players to defeat using moves uncovered by finding sunstones in the game world.

The story of the game sounds a little uninteresting, with a team of humans having to discover why the usually peaceful goblins have been arming themselves and what’s the source of their weapons.

Knack is a launch title for the PlayStation 4.
