Post-Apocalyptic Action-RPG RoadOut Launching Today on PC and Consoles

DANGEN Entertainment and developer Rastrolabs have announced that RoadOut has released today on Nintendo Switch, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
 

RoadOut is a story-driven post-apocalyptic action-RPG fusing 2.5D rotatable dungeon crawling with retro-style car exploration and vehicular combat.

Players step into the role of Claire, a mercenary for hire who races, fights, hacks, and crashes her way through the ruins of The Dead Zone. In her quest to uncover her connection to A.I. she’ll uncover conspiracies, clash with gangs, track down relics, and personalize her ride (and body) for maximum style and destruction.
 

A final, action-packed trailer has been revealed alongside its launch. The trailer highlights RoadOut’s mix of twin stick action, on-wheels exploration and rock n’ roll style racing (yes, like the SNES game).

Players can look forward to puzzle-filled dungeons, overworld exploration on wheels, arcade style racing, upgrades and mods, all wrapped in a retro post-apocalyptic world seething with style and synthwave.

STORY
 

After a great cataclysm, what’s left is a post-apocalyptic world dominated by an A.I. with rebel groups that take refuge in a desert area known as The Dead Zone. Claire survives in this world by executing black market contracts for local leaders involving delivery, sabotage and murder. The Dead Zone, now not so dead, is occupied by three rival factions: The Wasteheads, The SaibaKuran, and Order of the New Code. While investigating her past, Claire uncovers strange evidence that links her existence to the origin of the A.I.

GAMEPLAY

Part exploration on-wheels, part dungeon crawler, RoadOut shifts between retro-style behind-the-wheel action and on-foot brawling. Switch from turbo-charged chases to twin-stick shootouts. Drive into run-down city hubs, take on underground side quests, and blow up dangerous hideouts. Players can upgrade both Claire and her ride with body mod and vehicular customization, while scouring the world for items to craft their own items, weapons and upgrades.

Explore the World on Wheels

The world is no longer the same. All that remains is The Dead Zone, a large artificial biome created to sustain a new era of humanity. Drive through The Dead Zone doing jobs, getting paid and running roughshod over the scum guarding the secrets of the world. Join factions, fight rival gangs, barter items and take up quests to earn clout while progressing Claire’s story.

Twin Stick Combat and Dungeon Exploration

Body Mods and Cybernetics

Exit your ride and explore locations in the world of RoadOut on foot. Crush bandits with short and long range attacks, block with your shield, and recover using drugs that you’ve crafted on the way. Solve puzzles using fully rotatable stack sprite perspectives that look 2D, but are actually 3D. Craft new moves, weapons and drugs to survive. You can customize Claire with body mods, cybernetics, and an intricate skill tree system. Upgrade her car to traverse different terrain and withstand the effects of weather, night and day.
 

Battle in Your Bitchin’ Ride

Equipped with weapons and other tech, Claire’s car is your best friend against dangers in The Dead Zone. Hungry animals are ready to rip you apart. Murderous bandits will rob your lifeless corpse. Prepare for the worst with your car and its arsenal of weapons.

Race for Glory

The world may have come to an end, but who said we can’t have fun? Ride or die in red-hot races to be the best on the post apocalyptic circuit. 10 tracks in multiple biomes, innumerable races, all of them equal measures deadly and glorious. Indulge in extra game modes such as destruction derby-style racing and twisted battle arena, all while roading out to a thumping synthwave soundtrack.

Character-collection RPG ‘Genesis War’ Launching Worldwide April 28th

 LINE Games has announced that ‘Genesis War,’ a character-collection RPG developed by Meerkat Games , will officially launch globally on Google Play and the Apple App Store on Tuesday, April 28th.

‘Genesis War’ is a mobile character-collection RPG based on the legendary Korean IP ‘The War of Genesis,’ blending strategic turn-based combat with a deeply immersive narrative.

‘Genesis War’ has already garnered 500,000 pre-registrations worldwide with strong participation across the U.S., Thailand, and Europe since early this year. Following this momentum, the game soft-launched in Canada, Australia, and Indonesia on Tuesday, April 14th.

The global launch delivers a modernized reimagining of the franchise, honoring the iconic characters, combat, and narrative of the original while enhancing immersion through trend-driven gameplay refinements.

The lineup features 69 diverse characters at launch including fan-favorite icons like Iyolin and Karls. This extensive roster is designed to evoke nostalgia for the original series while delivering a rewarding experience of collection and progression.

The game fully realizes the vast world of the original series, diving deep into the fated destinies of its characters on the continent of Antaria. By meticulously crafting unique personalities and backstories for each hero, ‘Genesis War’ adds a multi-dimensional depth to the overall storyline.

Pre-registration is open on Google Play and the Apple App Store until the official launch on April 28. Players who sign up will receive a comprehensive reward package to accelerate early growth, including a Legendary Character Selector, Character Summons, a Legendary Weapon, and Armor Chests.

Action RPG Etheria: Restart Season SS4 Begins Today

XD Games is thrilled to announce that the new Etheria: Restart season – SS4 Loong’s Thunder: Shattered Dawn – has begun today, and will run to June 10th.
 

Watch the SS4 Loong’s Thunder: Shattered Dawn trailer here

One of the big new features of the new season is the Tactical Imprint progression system. Players can boost their combat stats by equipping Tactical Imprints (shareable across all different Animus) that have both passive traits and four fixed sockets that can enhance an Animus’ stats even further. By inserting the brand new Components into these sockets, players can upgrade their Animus’ offensive, defensive, and vitality stats.
 

In order to obtain Tactical Imprints and Components, players must take advantage of the new Hyper Kernel system. Hyper Kernel is Etheria: Restart’s latest factory system, providing resources, power buffs, and the aforementioned Tactical Imprints and Components to players. Through the Hyper Kernel, players can also produce Energy Crystals, which can be used to level up terminal nodes, increase maximum stability, and more. On top of that, players can use the Hyper Kernel to dispatch Animus on regional expeditions for rich rewards. Eventually, players will be able to upgrade the Hyper Kernel to operate as a fully automated, smart factory that collects all resources and supplies for players.
 

SS4 Loong’s Thunder: Shattered Dawn welcomes new Etheria: Restart players with a dedicated Sprint Server. This is designed to accelerate growth via a 14-day Double Drop limited-time event, Hyper Camp assessment missions that offer Training Points to unlock various rewards, and the Summit Arena Beginner Protection Mechanism that ensures players are not matched with Level 100 opponents until they reach that level themselves.
 

Additionally, five new Animus will join Etheria: Restart during SS4, starting today with Xuan Chi and Rimeheart Dinah. The defence-orientated Xuan Chi – brother to Xuan Li – can enhance the turn meter of both himself and his allies, creating more opportunities to act; Rimeheart Dinah, meanwhile, is a support-type Animus, taking damage for her teammates on the battlefield, before attacking enemies with her giant blade. 

Additional Animus being added to Etheria: Restart include intelligence officer Luvia, and senior security operative Qano, coming on 30 April. And the final Animus of SS4, Leiboz Life Workshop test subject Sharon, will arrive on 21 May.
 

A number of adjustments have also been made to members of the pre-existing roster. Asal has received a comprehensive buff, Bornova’s damage range has been stabilised, and Heinrich is getting some new Control abilities. For full details on all adjustments, be sure to check out the SS4 Seasonal Balance Adjustment notes.
 

For more on everything mentioned above, as well as information on new skins, outfits, rewards and more, you can watch the Hypertalk Ep. 7: SS4 Season Preview on the official Etheria: Restart YouTube channel, or check out the patch notes for the launch of SS4.
 

Etheria: Restart is available to play for free now on PC, iOS, and Android.
