The game will have detailed lo-fi visuals and old school pixel art that enhances the texture of it’s cyberpunk world setting and will play out inside highly atmospheric environments.

And of course there will be boss fights at the end of every level.

As for the release, the VA-11 Hall-A developer Sukeban Games will not give any time tables for the new game but hope that it’s sooner rather than later.
