Arcade action chaos returns in 2022
One of the most enjoyable announcements of this week’s New Game Expo Plus (NGPX) presentation was the confirmation that a beautiful pixel action series Azure Striker Gunvolt will make its return next time. Currently in development at Inti Creates, Azure Striker Gunvolt 3 will explode on Nintendo Switch sometime in 2022.
A sequel to Nintendo 3DS releases Azure Striker Gunvolt (2014) and Azure Striker Gunvolt 2 (2016), the new title will produce a new series of hyperkinetic characters and missions, with series director Yoshihisa Tsuda working with both LEVEL 5 supervisor Keiji Inafune and Bloodstained: curse of the moon director Hiroki Miyazawa to create an action-intensive, dramatic and pulse-wrenching new sequel.
You can watch the announcement video below, along with some clips from a demo in action. It looks pretty smooth.
