Metal Eden release confirmed by Reikon Games for September
Metal Eden, a new isometric shooter from developer Reikon, is set to release in September. The game was first revealed during a Sony State of Play broadcast and has been generating excitement with its fast-paced combat, platforming, and sci-fi survival elements.
The game takes place in a world shaped by a "cybernetic dimension of life," known as MOEBIUS—a rogue city designed by the Engineers where humanity is confined in decaying cells now replaced by steel, neon, and synthetic life. Players will take control of Hyper Unit ASKA, a once-human robot on a suicide mission to recover civilians' energy cores (COREs) and uncover her own mysterious origins.
Metal Eden's gameplay is a blend of high-speed movement, platforming, and intense action sequences. Players can perform wall-runs, dashes, jetpacks, and gravity hooks, allowing for acrobatic battles against security robots and mecha warriors. Combat consists of both melee and ranged attacks, as well as hacking mechanics, creating a dynamic and intense experience that emphasizes agility and strategic warfare.
The game also features an Armored Ramball for parkour-style navigation, blending shooter combat with platforming traversal. The new trailer, recently released, showcases these gameplay elements and the game's grim tone.
Metal Eden is heavily influenced by Doom Eternal and is a return to Reikon's dark sci-fi roots, following the studio's debut title RUINER. The narrative is expected to have a grim tone and atmosphere, with a compelling, dark, and infused with a cyberpunk atmosphere portraying survival amid a mechanical and synthetic dystopia.
For those interested in experiencing Metal Eden's fast-paced combat, platforming, and sci-fi survival narrative, be sure to mark your calendars for September. The new trailer can be watched on the official platform.
