Publisher Daedalic Entertainment and developer Dark Lord have just announced their upcoming cyberpunk-themed title called Glitchpunk which has an old school Grand Theft Auto 2 feel to it.
The game is planned for a release this year but a release date has not been confirmed. However, a demo of the game is going to be available next week in the Steam Games Festival from February 3-9
Check out the Glitchpunk announcement trailer below:
Glitchpun k will have you playing as a glitching android that has gone rogue against its own programming while challenging tyrannical governments and megacorps of the dystopian near-future.
Forge your own path in several cities full of drug-crazed gangs, aggressive police, and irresponsible drivers that make each mission and playthrough unpredictable. Steal cars and lead your enemies on a merry chase, fight them with a variety of melee and long-range weapons, and upgrade your own body with tech.
Glitchpunk is not all about explosives and blowing this up, it also tells a story of transhumanism, xenophobia, and religion. You can influence the world around you, make new friends, face off against more enemies than you can count – and you might even find love.
Key features:
- Brutal top-down action with a massive arsenal of weapons to choose from
- Hacking system allowing players to control minds of pedestrians and affect various devices.
- Many different ways of locomotion, including trains, tanks, motorbikes, buses, trucks, and obviously tons of cars
- Frantic police chases and up to 10 escalations of mayhem-inducing wanted levels
- 12 gangs with their own stories, quests, and culture
- 4 different cities, from the desert remains of the USA to cyberpunk Soviet Russia in a post-nuclear winter
- Mature story with several endings
- Rare art style mix of 2D sprites in a 3D environment
- In-game radio with music by artists from all over the world, together with news stations and absurd commercials
