Today, developer Heart Core LTD. is excited to announce that its story-driven cyberbike action game, Gripper, is releasing on Windows PC and Nintendo Switch on March 29. Players will soon be able to enter the burnout seat of their very own cyberbike as they race through an explosive cyberpunk setting featuring furious dark synth tracks, emotionally charged storytelling, and deadly bosses, each based on a different stage of grief.
“We’re thrilled to finally announce the release date for Gripper and to be so close to sharing the excitement and emotional experience with players around the world,” said Heart Core LTD co-founder Kirill Zolovkin. “Our love for Akira and games like Furi and Hyper Light Drifter helped inspire Gripper, along with my experience working through the loss of my mother. We thank you all for supporting us so far and are looking forward to sharing the full weight of Gripper later this month.”
Players can experience a taste of Gripper right now via the demo that is available on Windows PC.
