RKGK has been revealed by Wabisabi Games and Gearbox Publishing, and it is a single player 3D platformer that is anime inspired. The announce trailer does not show any gameplay, and is instead cinematic. It shows main character Valah spray painted a building and the security bots that come to catch her out.
“We always dreamt of creating our own game that pays respect to all the things we loved as kids that kickstarted our imaginations, from graffiti and streetwear to anime and manga,” said Anwar Noriega, Wabisabi Game’s CEO and Studio Co-Founder. “RKGK fulfills our ultimate vision of not only making the fast, fun, colorful platformer we’ve always wanted to play, but also honors our deepest childhood joys that made us who we are. We hope that our story inspires other aspiring developers everywhere to pursue their dreams and make their voices heard.”
“The developers at Wabisabi have poured so much of themselves and their heartfelt passions into this game. We are very grateful to have been trusted by them to be their partner in bringing RKGK to players around the world,” said Steve Gibson, President of Gearbox Publishing. “Supporting the vision and work of smaller, independent studios is very important to us and immensely rewarding as we get to work with such talented individuals bringing their visions to life.”
The features of RKGK have been listed as:
● NAVIGATE A DYSTOPIAN NEO-BRUTALIST WORLD – Valah’s creativity and imagination is the
spark to guide players through a dark, controlling world. Light up the cold concrete with neon
graffiti, discover secret treasures, and map hidden paths through the sprawling urban world of
Cap City.
● GO AHEAD, SHOW OFF – Chain together jumps, dashes, glides, and grinds as you master the
fluid and kinetic platforming action. Master routes and push through enemies like a true rebel to
take down B Corp with speed and style.
● BE BOLD – Break through enemies, overload your senses, and take back control. Use Valah’s
paint abilities for stylish traversal, chaotic mayhem, and making your mark on every corner of Cap
City. Reach the perfect flow state in Defacer Mode and Valah’s world becomes an animated
wonderland.
● RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE – Channel your power through art and resist B Corp’s mind
controlling technology. Restore freedom to the citizens of Cap City. Graffiti is the ultimate
expression of resistance. With plenty of outfit and paint customization options, Valah can reclaim
her city with pride and look great doing it.
RKGK is coming to PC via Steam this summer.
