Rise up and play with up to three friends in this ever-evolving cooperative multiplayer shooter.

Save the local arcade from the evil megacorporation Fun Fun Co, which sabotaged arcade owner Gilly’s super game meant to keep the doors open. Work together with up to three friends or brave the digital combat zone solo, exploring multiple vibrant biomes, competing for powerful loot in mid-game PvP challenges, and conquering multiple fearsome bosses with a mighty new final boss loop and beautiful biome premiering at launch this July.

Recruit 11 local gangs to Gilly’s Arcade and complete their challenges to earn tech points that will allow you to unlock Surge Gauntlet Abilities, such as fireballs and health drones to help in the fight. Create a loadout from 35 powerful weapons to annihilate 8 base enemy types plus variants of each to equal 31 total, with 4 dastardly bosses leading them. Climb the rankings through 6 distinct biomes to unlock additional challenges after earning enough street cred.

This ever-evolving multiplayer shooter allows you to play solo or with up to three friends to explore multiple biomes, mini-games, find hidden chests, and defeat numerous enemy types and boss levels. Arcadegeddon is a co-op multiplayer experience that provides a mix of PVE and PVP experiences that allows for all different speeds of play.As you continue to play you can take on additional challenges from the local “gangs” that hang out in Gilly’s Arcade. These will earn you much more than street cred. Speaking of street cred, earn your spot on the global leaderboards.

Arcadegeddon will showcase original music for the game by Aaron Rutherford, Jimmy Blythe (AFK), Mark Rutherford, and Ray Volpe. We’ve also got music from Getter, UZ, Thook, Halogenix, Milano, South, and Swrly. Even our very own Grammy Winning CEO, Charles Brungardt, is making a return to music and produced a few tracks for the game.


Arcadegeddon blasts out of Early Access for PC (Epic Game Store) and PS5 on July 5, 2022 with a plethora of new content debuting at launch.

New challengers on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 can join the same day, with full crossplay support between all versions. 

Preserving the experience of bringing arcade hits home, Nighthawk Interactive will publish physical versions of  Arcadegeddon  for PS4, PS5 and a Smart Delivery Xbox Series X|S / Xbox One versions this summer as well. All arcade saviors will start fresh at launch, and as a thanks for aiding the game, Early Access supporters will receive the Adopters Bundle. This pack  includes an appreciation outfit and decoration in Gilly’s Arcade, a five-day minimum XP boost, and a currency boost bundle.

“Because we had far fewer physical events to get feedback from players, Early Access was core to helping bring Arcadegeddon to fruition,” says Charles Brungardt, CEO, IllFonic. “Thanks to everyone who helped us bring this action-packed experience to fruition with their input. There is still time to reap the Early Access rewards before launch!”
