Get ready, Xbox gamers—Turbo Overkill, the critically acclaimed cyberpunk FPS, is revving its chainsaw leg and making its explosive debut on Xbox today.
From indie developer Trigger Happy Interactive and legendary publisher Apogee Entertainment, Turbo Overkill is a love letter to retro shooters like Doom and Quake, blending their high-octane action with modern speed and style. It’s an adrenaline-fueled descent into the neon-drenched dystopia of Paradise, where players take on the role of Johnny Turbo, a cybernetically enhanced anti-hero armed with imaginative weapons, a chainsaw leg, and a thirst for vengeance.
What Awaits you in Paradise
Paradise isn’t the utopia it was promised to be. This futuristic megacity, riddled with corporate corruption and rogue AI monstrosities, is a brutal battleground. As Johnny Turbo, you’ll fight through three expansive episodes filled with intricate levels, unforgettable characters, and nonstop carnage—all at a buttery-smooth 60 FPS.
Turbo Overkill’s Highlights:
- Iconic Combat: Wield absurd firepower, from dual magnums to plasma railguns, and turn every encounter into a gory spectacle.
- Kinetic Gameplay: Chain wall-runs, double jumps, and mid-air chainsaw slides for fluid, fast-paced combat that rewards creative destruction.
- Epic Levels: Battle through neon slums, abandoned arenas, corporate skyscrapers, and even the depths of space in Turbo Overkill’s three episodes.
- Enhanced for Xbox: Enjoy silky-smooth 60 FPS and enhanced visuals on Xbox Series X|S, delivering a visceral, immersive experience like no other.
Voice Talent: Paradise with Personality
Turbo Overkill boasts a stellar voice cast that brings its gritty characters to life:
- Patricia Summersett (The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Tears of the Kingdom) as the enigmatic and deadly bounty hunter Ripper.
- Jon St. John (Duke Nukem) as Johnny’s wisecracking AI companion, SAMM.
- Gianni Matragrano (Ultrakill, Neon White) as the cunning and ruthless Maw.
- DB Cooper (BioShock 2, The Elder Scrolls Online) as The Exec, a mysterious TeraTek executive with an agenda of her own.
- Tay Zonday (Chocolate Rain) as Dr. Nyx, Johnny’s bio-cybernetics surgeon.
Their performances add depth to Turbo Overkill’s adrenaline-fueled narrative, ensuring every encounter and interaction is as unforgettable as the carnage.
