Gato Roboto and Demon Throttle developer Doinksoft has officially confirmed the release date for Gunbrella, which will launch on September 13 for PC and Nintendo Switch. A gritty side-scrolling adventure set in a world that has become overdependent on natural resources, Gunbrella puts players in the boots of a tough woodsman out for revenge.
Toting a gunbrella–great for self-defense from gun-toting enemies and the elements–players will take on a spooky cabal of ghouls, gangsters, cops, and cultists.
Preorders for Gunbrella come with a free digital copy of Gato Roboto, Doinksoft’s cute kitty metroidvania. Gunbrella’s, titular weapon isn’t for show, as players will be able to upgrade the weapon to become a deadly multi-functional tool for taking out enemies and exploring the environment by using it to dash, swing, and glide around the world. Scavenging scrap and spare parts can be used not only for different munitions, but also for a supernatural arsenal of creepy phantasms that’ll aid you in battle.
Gunbrella’s release date confirmation comes in the wake of several other games–under publisher Devolver Digital–announcing that they’ve been delayed. In typical Devolver fashion, the publisher used this opportunity to showcase multiple games that were being pushed into 2024.
The Plucky Squire, Skate Story, Anger Foot, Pepper Grinder, and Stick it the Stickman will all arrive next year, but Wizard With A Gun, The Talos Principle 2, The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood, Karmazoo, and McPixel 3 DLC are all still scheduled to arrive this year.
