SPINE receives new trailer, Switch 2 version confirmed

Developer and publisher Nekki has revealed a new trailer during the Twitch Galaxies showcase for the upcoming gun fu action game SPINE. The game is planned to be released on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series. It was announced today that SPINE will also be targeting a Switch 2 launch. 

A release date has not been mentioned yet. The developer announced the game has over 400K wishlists across all platforms.

The trailer showcased today was of SPINE’s Freeflow Gun Fu combat, which features the protagonist, Redline, who moves from enemy to enemy, parrying and disarming them, and turning their own weapons against them in seamless combos. 

Players can creatively use the physical environment against Redline’s opponents – crushing enemies against surfaces, throwing them from ledges, and fighting back with makeshift melee weapons for truly cinematic combat sequences that are different every time.

The new trailer for SPINE also gave us a tease of its Hardcore mode.

“SPINE’s cinematic twist on ‘no-hit’ gameplay sees Redline wear sunglasses which will only remain intact if the player makes it through the game untouched by enemy attacks.”

Here are the Key Features for SPINE:

• Movie-Like Experience – SPINE puts players inside the action with a dynamic combat camera that makes every fight feel like a movie, without ever stealing control from players.
• Innovative Combat – A thrilling fusion of cinematic gunplay and Freeflow Gun Fu beat ’em up. Dive into the chaos of SPINE’s combat, where every move is a dance between gunfire and raw, close-quarter bullet mayhem. It’s not just a game; it’s an artistic canvas for your own style of destruction.
• Unrivaled Atmosphere – Dive into an action-packed narrative set against the backdrop of a captivating cyberpunk world. Explore the contrast between the gleaming, utopian facades and the gritty, decaying alleyways, as each location becomes a stage for adrenaline-fueled gunfights.
• Gripping Narrative – Embark on a gritty journey into the near-future with Redline, a rebellious street artist, and her AI companion, Spine — a combat implant with a mind of its own. Together, they stand against an oppressive AI regime, and every fight they have sends ripples through the streets they navigate, changing the lives of the people they meet.
