Excitingly, the graces all major platforms, yes even Nintendo Switch, with a new cybernetic experience injected with neon lights and post-urban acoustics.

And while the current onslaught of console systems do the job fairly, the next wave of commercial hardware is just around the corner.

Games and 505 Games announce Ghostrunner is expected to hit next-gen in 2021.

“Ghostrunner is a game all about movement,” the synopsis reads from the post. “Yes, it has a great story too, hitting those classic cyberpunk themes of corruption, power, and technologies gone rogue, but its moment-by-moment mechanics are somewhere between the insta-kill ultraviolence of Hotline Miami and the breathtaking free-flowing movement of Dishonored.”
