The PC version of Cloudpunk will launch via Steam on April 23, developer Ion Lands announced. As previously announced, it is also due out for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Switch via publisher Merge Games later in 2020.
“As massive cyberpunk genre fans we had plenty of chances to make a game about shooting people in a futuristic city. With Cloudpunk we wanted to instead focus on what it’s like to experience a cyberpunk city, to live in there as a struggling delivery driver,” said Ion Lands head of studio Marko Dieckmann in a press release. “At its core, Cloudpunk is about what it takes to make it in a city. Whether that city is New York in the 80s, San Francisco today, or some futuristic city a thousand years from now. The richness and character and struggles are familiar to everyone everywhere.”
Here is an overview of the game, via Ion Lands:
