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.

Arcade shoot ‘em up OBLITACRATER available now on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Steam

Indie developer Strangely Named is excited to confirm that their latest title, OBLITACRATER, is out now on PS5 & Xbox Series X|S, alongside its full release on Steam. Built around high-risk, high-reward runs, in OBLITACRATER you will battle an onslaught of enemy swarms while managing a single, ever-growing score that can be lost in an instant.

Capturing the essence of arcade classics like Space Invaders, OBLITACRATER blends pick-up-and-play accessibility with modern roguelike design and bold, fast-paced action. Players battle through endless waves of enemies and adapt their ship with powerful upgrades. But the real challenge is knowing when to escape.

In OBLITACRATER, every drop onto the beautifully stylised planet is a high-stakes gamble as you’re always contributing to one single running score. The goal is to build up your score, rise through the leaderboards and decide on the best moment to end your run because death in OBLITACRATER hits harder than ever. Your running score (and leaderboard position) reset to zero when you’re defeated, effectively putting you back to square one. It’s your choice how you want to play. Do you risk one more drop with your powerful loadout, or escape safely and continue building your score in the next run?

As you progress through each run you’ll have the opportunity to unlock powerful upgrades to your ship, which range from stat boosts, like increased movement speed, to secondary fire modes, like rockets and mines. The riskiest (and often most fun) options are the random upgrades, which could give you a powerful upgrade… or a painful downgrade.

Key Features:

10 Horrifying (and yet oddly cute) alien critters to blast!
Ranked, Friends and Timed Leaderboards
50 unique upgrades
A range of high powered weaponry including Rockets, Lasers and Mines
Fast paced movement and dodging
Smooth Traversal on a full 3D spherical planet
Support for hundreds of enemies on screen
Challenge yourself in Dead Run Mode, where just one hit from an enemy is lethal

Excited to see players across all platforms drop in for the first time, developer Sen says: “We’re thrilled for players to drop into OBLITACRATER and start climbing the leaderboards. We’ll be right there with you, chasing that number one spot. And once you’ve got the hang of things, jump into Dead Run mode, where the real challenge begins!”

Valkyrie Initiative Announces Fast-Paced 2D Platformer Kettlebell: Inferno Hotel

Valkyrie Initiative and solo developer 70`Strike today announced Kettlebell: Inferno Hotel, a fast-paced 2D platformer inspired by the 16-bit classics of the ’90s, coming to PC via Steam and GOG as well as PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch. Packed with humor, destruction, grotesque enemies, and pure hellish energy, the game sends players into a bizarre underworld where the circles of Hell have been reimagined as the floors of a chaotic infernal hotel

Watch the official announcement trailer here

In Kettlebell: Inferno Hotel, players take control of Mr. K, an ordinary office clerk and all-around decent guy whose fate takes a darkly comic turn after a ridiculous accident sends him straight to Hell instead of Heaven. There, he arrives at the gates of the Inferno Hotel, a surreal place where each floor has its own rules, atmosphere, and dangers. With the hotel in chaos and its floors sealed off, Mr. K must fight his way through every trial in search of an audience with the Boss to set this cosmic mistake right.

The game will take players through nine floors of the Inferno Hotel and more than forty handcrafted levels, blending fast and dynamic platforming with strange mechanics, grotesque enemies and bosses, and surreal locations ranging from fiery factories to a park of homeless souls. Built around the spirit of the Mega Drive and Super Nintendo era, the game combines familiar retro sensibilities with fresh ideas, satirical humor, and an offbeat personality of its own.

To celebrate the announcement, Valkyrie Initiative has also opened Steam Playtest sign-ups for the game. Players who take part in the Playtest and meet certain conditions will have the chance to earn a range of exclusive in-game rewards, which will be granted at the full launch of the game. These rewards include a golden kettlebell skin, a smelly kettlebell skin, and a stylish yellow shirt for Mr. K.

Some of these rewards will require genuine skill. Players who complete every level in the Playtest build with an S Rank will unlock the Steam achievement “Golden Run”, qualifying them for the top reward, provided they also wishlist the game and follow Valkyrie Initiative’s publisher page on Steam. Additional rewards can be unlocked through other Playtest achievements and participation requirements. The Playtest start date will be announced at a later time.

“After working on the dark and demanding world of Skelethrone, I wanted to create something lighter, stranger, and more playful without losing the sense of challenge and personality that makes action games memorable,” said Ksayfar (Dmitriy Bukhtatov), solo developer at 70`Strike. “Kettlebell: Inferno Hotel is my love letter to the weird energy of ’90s platformers — games like Earthworm Jim, Boogerman, Bubba ’n’ Stix, and Sonic — filtered through a bizarre vision of Hell inspired by The Divine Comedy. It’s fast, surreal, hand-crafted, and intentionally a little unhinged.”

Key features of Kettlebell: Inferno Hotel include:

Fast-paced, dynamic 2D platforming
Two gameplay modes: Classic with limited lives, and Arcade, where players cannot die but lose more points when hit
Over 40 levels spread across nine floors of the Inferno Hotel
Grotesque enemies and bosses
Surreal locations and bizarre underworld humor
Hand-drawn pixel art and frame-by-frame animation
A retro-inspired soundtrack composed by the developer, blending jazz, ’80s disco, blues, and more

Players can wishlist the game and request access to the Steam Playtest here

70`Strike is the solo development label of Ksayfar (Dmitriy Bukhtatov). Following work on Skelethrone: The Chronicles of Ericona, Bukhtatov began development on Kettlebell: Inferno Hotel as a more playful and eccentric project inspired by classic ’90s platformers, hand-drawn pixel animation, and a whimsical reinterpretation of Hell.About Valkyrie Initiative

NACON UNVEILS NEW ACTION RPG ‘HUNTER: THE RECKONING – DEATHWISH’ FROM TEYON

During the Xbox Partner Showcase, NACON and the studio Teyon were pleased to unveil their new project set in the World of Darkness™ universe: Hunter: The Reckoning – Deathwish. One of the most iconic licenses in the role-playing game world returns 20 years after the release of the last video game in this universe. In this first-person, single-player action RPG, players take on the role of a monster hunter in an expansive version of New York, tracking their prey among citizens unaware of the secret world surrounding them. Hunter: The Reckoning – Deathwish will be released on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam in summer 2027.

Watch the Announcement Trailer:
ESRB | PEGI

Hunter: The Reckoning – Deathwish immerses players in a dark New York where vampires, werewolves, and other supernatural horrors lurk and scheme in the shadows. Players assume the role of a Hunter, or humans who have discovered the horrifying truth that monsters secretly rule our world and decided to track them down. Players customize their Hunter just like the tabletop RPG and explore the city at their own pace, searching for clues and side quests that may give them an edge against enemies as powerful as they are dangerous.

To achieve their goal, Hunters must prepare and adapt their approach to each creature’s lair whether through brute force, stealth, or cunning. With a wide range of ranged and melee weapons at their disposal, players can engage monsters in intense combat. Throughout the adventure, they join a cell of hunters and team up with five companions, each with their own story and unique personality, providing valuable support during hunts. Players can also build relationships with them and even pursue romances.

Throughout the campaign, Hunters shape their own story by making important decisions both in dialogue as well as during missions. Each choice can lead to multiple outcomes and influence the story’s conclusion and may also damage their reputation with allies or put them under scrutiny from law enforcement, adding new obstacles to their already perilous journey.

“We knew NACON and Teyon had something special the moment we saw Deathwish” Jess Lanzillo, Creative Director at White Wolf for World of Darkness, said. “Teyon has a deep understanding of what makes Hunter: The Reckoning a compelling setting, and Deathwish embodies our vision of bringing it to life. NACON has helped bring several World of Darkness games to our fans, and the team at Teyon is in good hands.”

Hunters have one clear mission: stand between monsters and the innocent. Because if they don’t, who will?

Hunter: The Reckoning – Deathwish will be available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam in summer 2027.
