By freaks, for freaks
The card-drawing, gun-blasting, speedrunning FPSNeon Whiteis coming in hot. Annapurna Interactive and the dev team announcedNeon Whitehas a launch date for PC and Nintendo Switch next week, on June 16.
The release date forNeon Whitewas shown off during today’s Summer Game Fest showcase. This speedy FPSis the new game fromDonut Countydeveloper Ben Esposito and the crew at Angel Matrix. Rather than a cozy game about swallowing the world up,Neon Whiteis about speed, execution, and anime. Just big anime vibes.
Speeding through the afterlife
The crux ofNeon Whiteis that you’re a former assassin who’s died and gone to… well, not heaven. As Neon White (the character), you’re saved from Hell to compete with other Neons in a competition for a shot at redemption.
Most of the levels take place in a dreamy paradise, with clouds and vistas abound. Oh, and demons. You want to get from point A to B as fast as possible, while also wiping out any demons you’re able to. It feels fast and fluid, like if the Pilot’s Gauntlet fromTitanfall 2was spread out into a full game. Plus, it has a side of getting to know your fellow Neons.

The demo for itreally spoke to meearlier this year, with its mix of precision FPS running and social sim side-ventures. Plus, watching a bunch of speedrunners tackle this game has been a treat in and of itself. And now thatNeon Whitehas a date, we can finally know when we’ll be able to start setting our own records on the leaderboard.
