'20XX' (ALL) Gets Switch, PS4 And Xbox One Date - Screens & Trailer

20XX is a co-op-friendly roguelike that plays like Mega Man X, where you explore procedurally generated levels, collect new weapons, abilities, purchase upgrades, and battle mighty bosses in the name of saving the human race maybe!

If you are a fan of roguelikes or Mega Man, 20XX is for you!

20XX is a game built to feel like Mega Man X, but with random levels, random powerups, permanent death, and multiplayer. The game uses a procedural level generation algorithm that pieces together levels from a certain number of mechanics at a time; it switches rapidly between playing like an action game and playing like a platformer, mixing precision jumping with fevered combat.

Add in permadeath and over 100 powerups to find in between agonizing deaths and you've got hours of nail-biting jumping-and-shooting goodness on your hands.


The console release of 20XX will be bundled with the “Hawk DLC Pack,” which features a third playable character with a distinct whip-like attack that allows her to steal energy from enemies and power-up five unique special abilities.

“20XX is a marriage of classic action platformer gameplay with modern roguelike design,” said Chris King, founder, Batterystaple Games. “The project has been such an incredible success for our team on PC and we can’t wait to bring console players into the fold when it launches in July.”

Currently available on PC (Steam) 20XX jumps to Nintendo Switch and PS4 on July 10, 2018 followed by Xbox One on July 11, 2018.

Key Features:

  • Crisp, precise controls - do exactly what you want your character to!
  • Over 100 collectible weapons, items, and power ups
  • Tons of different play modes and optional difficulty modifiers!
  • Seeded Daily and Weekly Challenges!
  • All gameplay features available in both single player and co-op! (online or local)
  • Random levels: each time you play 20XX, the stages you play through will be brand new!
  • Permanent death: each 20XX playthrough is a self-contained life! Death sends you back to HQ, where you can buy powerful upgrades for future runs. (There's also a Reverent Mode where you get three lives to make it through the game instead of one.)
  • Persistent Upgrades: as you play 20XX, you'll earn Soul Chips, which unlock powerful Permanent Upgrades and expand the pool of items that can you can find as you play!

20XX supports English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Korean, and Simplified Chinese language options.

Currently available on PC (Steam) 20XX jumps to Nintendo Switch and PS4 on July 10, 2018 followed by Xbox One on July 11, 2018.
