Gearshifters release window update, gameplay trailer

Back in April, we first reported on Gearshifters, an arcade-action shoot ’em-up rogue-lite. Publisher Numskull Games and developer Red Phantom Games have since shared some additional news, and it’s looking like we’ll be seeing it pretty soon.

Gearshifters has popped up on the European eShop, and if that’s correct, the game is apparently dropping on September 23. A physical version is also planned. Numskull Games has officially gone on the record to confirm an October launch, so one possibility is that the digital version will come before the physical release.

Here’s some information about Gearshifters:

An arcade-action shoot-‘em-up rogue-lite. Steer, drift, spin, smash and gun through waves of enemy vehicles. Go to war against extreme-machine bosses. Build up and tune your tactical loadout of car mods, defences and weaponry for each treacherous transport mission. Drive. Destroy. Get Paid. Upgrade!

Drive and Destroy. Employ precision control and expert driving skills to race rings around foes, dodge incoming projectiles, and unleash intense attacks. High-octane action at every turn, slide, and spin.

Mega-vehicle Boss Battles. Defeat the lawless factions that dominate dystopian future Europe, and take down their insane, heavily armoured boss machines.

Get Paid and Upgrade! Tackle dangerous delivery missions to ensure the safe arrival of precious cargo. Get paid, and modify your car with offensive, defensive, cosmetic, and performance-based customisations.

Explosive Delivery. Expand your territory across the post-apocalyptic continent. Only the most skilled Gearshifter can take on the most perilous routes and reach the mysterious Citadel.

A new gameplay trailer for Gearshifters was also issued today. We’ve included the video below.
