Chris InglisOver at Gamescom, Konami Digital Entertainment and KeelWorks Ltd announced CYGNI: All Guns Blazing, a twin-stick vertical scrolling shooter that delivers old school nostalgia with next-generation graphics and intense action. Launching in 2023 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and PC, a new trailer was released which shows amazing detail in the depth and enemy models. It showcases epic boss battles, air to ground combat and great looking explosions for this type of game.
Outgunned and outmanned, players will plunge into a sky full of hell in a last-ditch war for survival. Choose to route energy between weapons or shield systems and go up against unrelenting waves of ground and aerial enemies. Upgrade your ship and take down colossal alien bosses in visceral combat; do whatever it takes to survive. CYGNI: All Guns Blazing does not seek to reinvent shoot ’em ups but to elevate the genre to deliver the heightened sensations of a truly next-generation experience.
Encamped within the remains of a long-lost civilization on the planet CYGNI, the colony is decimated by a surprise attack from a powerful, biomechanical alien race. As one of the last pilots on one of the very few remaining carriers in the fleet, you are the only line of defense against the unyielding alien bombardment. It’s honestly one of the most detailed top-down twin-stick shooters I have seen.
CYGNI: All Guns Blazing will feature:
- Next generation visuals, animation, and special effects setting a new benchmark in cinematic shoot ’em ups
- Be the lone fighter, or one of two in local co-op, battling through intensely hostile levels filled with waves of air and ground assaults
- Choose where to route energy on the fly switching between shields (defensive) or weapons systems (offensive)
- Collect energy to power up your ship and energize weaponry from hard-hitting projectiles to an array of missiles.
- Launch air-to-air and air-to-ground attacks as you traverse neon-lit metropolises, oceans and various otherworldly landscapes.
- Go one-on-one against gargantuan enemies in cinematically epic boss battles
- Full orchestral score and immersive sound design
We can’t wait to see more from this game and learn more about it’s co-op opportunities. CYGNI: All Guns Blazing will launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and PC in 2023.
