Meridiem Games and ChaoticBrain Studios have shared a trailer for Neon Blood, which is coming to Nintendo Switch later this year.
After the Third World War in the year 2053, humanity was reduced to a single megacity, Viridis, which was formed by two cities – the luxurious Bright City and the dystopian Blind City.
Motivated to rebel against the injustices caused by the social separation between the two cities and the social inequalities that remain to exist in society, Axel McCoin, a detective from Blind City, becomes a symbol of revolution to those who share his ideals.
Axel will encounter powerful allies who will help him in his purpose, as well as enemies who will stand in his way, like Ruby Emerald, who will do everything possible to thwart his plans.
The publisher has outlined the game’s key features, which include:
- Neon Blood features an elaborate and deep story with a cyberpunk theme that serves as a thread to tell Axel’s story, which will be marked by the relationships he will establish throughout his adventure, showing the player the different realities of the two cities.
- In Neon Blood, we embrace a 2.5D aesthetic, based on using 2D PixelArt sprites with 3D-modeled environments, maintaining an aesthetic differentiation between flat characters and the environment with depth.
- Explore the two deeply contrasting cities with markedly different aesthetics – the futuristic sc-fi cityscape of Bright City and dark, gritty cyberpunk inspired Blind City.
- Use the investigative skills of detective Axel McCoin to reveal Viridis’s dark secrets and set in motion a revolution that could destroy the foundations of society.
Neon Blood will be released digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch worldwide in 2024.
