Annapurna Interactive and Ben Esposito have confirmed a release date for Neon White, which is coming to Nintendo Switch.
This lightning-fast first-person action game comes from the award-winning creator behind the mischievous Donut County. You play as White, an assassin that has been hand-picked from Hell to compete against other demon slayers for the chance to live permanently in Heaven.
True Believers cannot kill anyone, so he, as well as the other Neons, must deal with an evil demon infestation. That will see you use Soul Cards, magic playing cards that each represent a limited-use weapon that can be discarded to activate a special movement ability.
You will need them in your efforts to secure the Mechanical Halo and the chance to stay in Heaven indefinitely. New cards can either be found in treasure chests or by defeating demons, and you will need them to earn fast times to reward you with medals to increase your Neon Rank.
The publisher has outlined the game’s key features as below:
- You play as Neon White, an assassin plucked from Hell to compete with other demon slayers for a shot at redemption.
- Collect “Soul Cards” to attack your foes or discard them to use unique movement abilities.
- Compete for the best times by cleverly combining cards to discover massive shortcuts.
- Uncover Heaven’s mysteries by getting to know the other assassins… did you know them in a past life?
Neon White will release digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch worldwide on 16th June 2022.
