Formation Z PS5 is the physical PlayStation 5 edition of FZ: Formation Z, a shoot ’em up developed by City Connection and Granzella and published by Clear River Games. It brings back the classic Formation Z idea of a fighter that turns into a walking robot mid-stage. You pilot the Ixpel, switching in real time between Robot Form for ground combat and Flight Form for fast air combat, across five missions with open routes. Clear River Games lists a release date of 9 June 2026, a PEGI 7 rating and one player.

Robot Form and Flight Form
The heart of Formation Z PS5 is the transformation. In Robot Form the Ixpel walks on the ground and fights with melee attacks and precise shots, which suits tight spaces and enemies that need careful aim. In Flight Form it becomes a fast jet built for air combat and for crossing the stage quickly. Flight is limited: Clear River Games explains that your energy decides how long you can stay airborne, so you have to choose when to fly, when to land and when to fight on foot. That constant decision is what makes it feel different from a standard side-scrolling shooter.
Five missions with open routes
Formation Z PS5 has five missions, and each one has open routes with multiple paths through the stage. The same mission can be cleared in more than one way, and a second run often shows you a part of the map you missed the first time. This is a compact arcade game built around replay rather than a long story campaign, so the value comes from learning stages, finding better routes and improving your play each time you return to them.
The Factory: modules, parts and stickers
Every mission pays out FZ Points, which you spend in the Factory to unlock new Ixpel units, cosmetics and upgrades. Each Ixpel has four module slots, and the modules boost traits such as attack, mobility and efficiency, so you can shape your craft around how you like to play before each sortie. On the cosmetic side you can swap parts, choose colour variations and add stickers. Building a setup for a specific mission and then testing it in Formation Z PS5 Score Attack is where much of the long-term fun sits.
Score Attack and the Archives
Once you clear a mission, Score Attack unlocks for that stage. You can replay it to set personal bests, and each area keeps its own top score, which rewards learning the open routes and fine-tuning your Factory build. The Archives track your progress in three parts: War Record counts total enemy defeats and the number of sorties for each Ixpel, Enemy Data works as an encyclopedia of the foes you have defeated, and the Gallery unlocks artwork when you meet specific in-game conditions.
Disc edition, languages and console
This is the physical edition for PlayStation 5. Clear River Games lists the game for PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2, with Game Outlet as its European distribution partner. Text is available in English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese and Korean; the publisher does not list voice languages and does not publish an install size. Formation Z PS5 needs a console that reads discs: a standard PS5, or a Digital Edition fitted with Sony’s separate disc drive. It is a single-player game, so there is no co-op to plan for.
Who This Is Not For
Formation Z PS5 is not for anyone who wants co-op or online play: Clear River Games lists one player only. It is not a long adventure either, with five missions whose depth comes from replaying them in Score Attack. The disc does not play on PS4, and it needs a PS5 that can read discs. Arabic, French and German are not on the official text language list. If you do not enjoy score chasing and old-school arcade design, this game keeps that focus.
