Publisher Aeternum Game Studios announced that Studio Koba's shooting action game Future Knight will launch on August 14 in Japan. The game is set in 1993, where a cult leader is erasing human memory. Players control Future Knight and his companion tumor Two More across eight Tokyo-inspired stages. It will be available on PC, Switch, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
Studio Koba's follow-up to Narita Boy and Haneda Girl is a shooting action game that mimics the look of 1980s and 1990s handheld LCD games. The story takes place in 1993, where a mysterious woman leads a cult called Presents and is erasing humanity's memories. Future Knight, a secret project built from the remains of a 1990s TV actor, travels back to eight hours before the apocalypse to stop her.
The game features eight stages set in a Tokyo-inspired world, each representing one hour before the apocalypse. Players switch between Future Knight and his companion tumor Two More, who can squeeze through narrow passages and use wall jumps and a super dash. The game supports Japanese text and is priced at 1980 yen on Steam, where a demo is currently available.
