Ghostrunner is set in a world which is a unique, grim blend of cyberpunk and post-apo genres.

After a cataclysmic event, the remnants of humanity dwell within Dharma Tower, a megastructure constructed as a temporary shelter. A century of conflict led to a brutal division of Dharma — the lower the floor, the lower the resident’s status. The enigmatic Keymaster maintains this imposed caste system, but the people have had enough. Ascend the tower as a Ghostrunner capable of blistering speed and deadly precision, and learn the truth behind the Keymaster’s reign.

Join the resistance known as the Climbers on their mission to cut through the Keymaster’s regime. Death awaits on each level of the tower, from the derelict industrial machinery of the Base to the sickening sheen of the Summit. Dodge oncoming bullets by dashing and wall-running, then slice through enemies with a single cut. Cybernetic implants push the limit even further with bullet-timelike mechanics to keep the cyber-warrior out of harm’s way.

You are a cyber-warrior, a living weapon, the only one capable of fighting both in the physical world and in cyberspace. Lost and hunted, thrown into the middle of the conflict, you must use this bond with technology to ascend the tower.

High mobility of the main character, one-hit-one-kill, and bullet-time mechanics are the bases of the gameplay, which focuses on fast-paced, high-adrenaline combat.

Publisher 505 Games announced the official physical and digital PS5 and Xbox Series X|S launch date of Ghostrunner, coming Tuesday, September 28.

Ghostrunner’s fast-paced cyberpunk action makes the leap into next-gen with improved graphics, performance and awesome new features. Cut through cyborgs while grappling across deadly chasms post-processing HDR, ray tracing fidelity mode, 3D audio, Haptic feedback for the PlayStation 5 and more. Split-second reaction timing and impressive moves feels even more impressively aggressive with 4K/120 FPS and instant loading.

PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions of Ghostrunner include all modes added since launch, including the time-attack style Kill Run Mode and intuitive Photo Mode. Developer One More Level will continue to expand the title even further throughout the year, with the recently-announced roguelike Wave Mode and more accessible Assist Mode coming later this summer.

Ghostrunner  launches for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S on September 28 in physical retail stores and digital storefronts for $29.99 / €29.99 / £24.99. Owners of the Xbox One and PS4 versions can upgrade to their respective new generation console version for free.

Pre-orders for physical editions on Nintendo Switch, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S will open soon. 

Ghostrunner’s physical Nintendo Switch version launches June 25 in Europe and June 29 in the U.S.

Key Features

• Ascend the tower – use the environment to your advantage and face fast and determined enemies.
• Act fast – armed with a melee weapon, get to the enemies before they have a chance to shoot.
• You are a cyber-warrior – fight both in the physical world and in cyberspace.
• Choose your own strategy – use your special abilities to avoid bullets and eliminate enemies: the dynamic movement system turns combat into a true dance of death.
• Trial and error – you die from one hit, so learn the levels by heart and adapt.

Ghostrunner’s vertical setting enables One More Level Games to show off the beautiful duality of the cyberpunk genre. RTX-powered raytracing highlights lower Meru’s crumbling infrastructure with grungy neon signs and the apathetic hedonism of the clubs and bars on higher levels. An intense retrowave soundtrack by the acclaimed Daniel Deluxe maintains an energetic throughline to punctuate this dangerous journey to the top.

Currently available for PC (Steam, Epic Games Store and GOG), Xbox One, PS4 and Nintendo Switch, Ghostrunner will be coming to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S on September 28, 2021.
