Neoane Games announced Forastero, a third-person beat 'em up for PC (Steam), PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. Set in a country ruined by greed and violence, a government-hired mercenary must recover a mysterious gem. Combat is fast-paced with dodges, counters, air combos, and guard breaks. The trailer's cowboy punches and spanking drew comparisons to Capcom's 2006 GOD HAND, and the developer has responded positively to the association, even mentioning Shinji Mikami on X.
Development on Unity 6 has been public since 2025. The story follows a government-hired mercenary recovering a gem with hidden power in a country ruined by greed and violence, with a vengeful indigenous warrior and a corrupt banker in the way.
Combat is built around dodging and counters, with gauge-charged moves, air combos, and guard breaks. A wanted poster system adjusts difficulty in real time, alongside upgrades for new moves and skills.
The trailer shows a cowboy chaining quick sway and ducking into combos, with consecutive punches and spanking. That drew immediate comparisons to Capcom's 2006 GOD HAND. The developer has not confirmed the link, but has responded positively to the association and has mentioned Shinji Mikami, who worked on GOD HAND, on X.
