Contra Meets Wild Guns in Cyberpunk Shooter Neon Inferno, Blasting Onto All Platforms in Late 2025
Get ready for pixel-perfect chaos as Retroware and Zenovia Interactive unveil Neon Inferno, a blistering cyberpunk action shooter launching on all platforms in Q3 2025. Fans of Contra and Wild Guns will feel right at home with this fast-paced, split-layer combat experience that brings intense, arcade-style gameplay to the neon-lit streets of dystopian New York City.
A High-Octane Fusion of Classic Shooter Styles
Set in the crime-ridden streets of New York in the year 2055, Neon Inferno throws players into the heart of a war between crime syndicates and a corrupt NYPD. Players will step into the roles of Angelo and Mariana, two rising enforcers of a fledgling crime family looking to carve out their place in the underworld. The game takes classic run-and-gun action and layers in gallery-style shooting, allowing players to battle enemies in both the foreground and background for a dynamic and engaging experience.
Unique Bullet-Time Mechanics & Customization
Neon Inferno isn’t just about dodging bullets—it’s about sending them right back. The game features a unique “Bullet Time” mechanic that allows players to deflect certain projectiles at enemies, whether they’re up close or further in the distance. Players will also be able to upgrade their weapons and abilities between missions, tailoring their loadouts to suit their playstyles. Whether you prefer to blast through foes with raw firepower or rely on finesse and well-timed counters, Neon Inferno provides plenty of options to master its challenges.
