Take revenge under the night sky – Bullet Noir release date announced

Bullet Noir is a top-down seamless twin-stick shooter with a one-hit-one-kill mechanic. The game created by Wolcen Studio in collaboration with Galaktus Publishing is heavily inspired by the Noir style and is set to release in Early Access on the Steam platform, February 12th.

The game is designed with a top-down view to grant players a tactical edge, but also to highlight the game’s stunning Noir-inspired maps. Each level brings more creativity and chaos, challenging players to navigate intense, action-packed gameplay.

Bullet Noir focuses on player reflexes as split-second decisions must be made to manage the instant-kill mechanics. The developers wanted to put emphasis and focus more on the experience rather than just the gameplay, and wanted players to immerse themselves in the vengeance plot and the noir style that oozes from every corner of the game. The art style was specifically chosen for its mood, the shadow alleyways, the morally gray characters and the adrenaline-filled environment.

The game drew inspiration from various sources, such as Hotline Miami and Max Payne, the graphic novels of Sin City, and film series like John Wick and The Matrix. These works, characters, and stories influenced the creators throughout their lives and served as the foundation for the game’s design. This inspiration shapes the gritty atmosphere and the relentless thirst for vengeance that drives the gameplay of Bullet Noir.

Bullet Noir is set to release on February 12th on Steam and will offer broad action shooter gameplay with a compelling story-driven plot of personal vendetta, betrayal and loss. Players can take on any of the four unique characters and take on the night city as they serve justice.
