Gearshifters launches digitally on October 1st for Nintendo Switch, PC (Steam), Xbox One, and PlayStation 4. Physical versions for the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 will also be available at retailers on Friday 15 October, including a Standard version (game only) and Collector’s edition (including game, OST CD, unique limited edition clothing patch as well as art cards).
In the 2060s, after “The Collapse” of capitalism and democracy, a rookie driver, known as a Gearshifter, delivers critical packages from a secluded HQ to imperiled neutral zones. Making dangerous transport runs means battling aggressive factions of weapon-laden vehicles and their mega-machine bosses. Players will race across the dystopian landscape in the hope of reaching the mysterious Citadel where world-changing secrets await discovery.
Developed by Red Phantom Games and published by Numskull Games, the high-intensity top-down vehicle combat game is a modernised shoot-em-up experience with rogue-like elements where players must traverse a post-societal world in their solo adventure. Taking the most perilous routes, fulfilling high-stakes delivery missions to ensure the safe arrival of precious cargo – only the most skilled Gearshifters will survive.
Gearshifters will feature nine different zones, 27 stages, and a customisable car. Players can choose from three gameplay modes:
- Arcade – for those wanting to get straight into the action
- Standard – for those wanting a narrative-led experience
- Deadly – for those brave hardcore players
