Foamstars, the new shooter title by Square Enix, is both bubbly and bloody. Here, guns fire foam-like shots and are wielded by characters that serve as your in-game avatars.
In the game, you can enter in four-vs-four matches where you can play with other players. Aside from the three game modes, you can also choose from eight characters with different backgrounds once Foamstars releases, and all of them have unique weapons and abilities that can cater multiple combat styles.
Here are all the playable characters in Foamstars.
All Foamstars characters and abilities
As mentioned, eight playable characters will make their way to Foamstars when it launches. All of them have bright and colorful aesthetics, as well as weapons that shoot foam in different forms. They also have different roles when they are used in teams.
Six of the characters will be available for free. One character, however, can be unlocked by accomplishing challenges in the game, and one character is up for grabs when you purchase the Season Pass.

Will more characters arrive in Foamstars?
Square Enix has still not confirmed if more characters will come to Foamstars. But in the case of Mel T, a Season Pass character, we can speculate more Season Pass characters will debut in the game, since this subscription-based pass usually offers different content every season.
Foamstars will release on Feb. 6, 2024 for PS4 and PS5. The game is the first PS Essential title for February 2024. You can check our dedicated countdown page for Foamstars, as well as its official website to know more.
