Some features are already in the test build, it's gonna be WILD.

🎮 Orbitals on Nintendo Switch 2, gameplay clip dropped.
It's a co‑op exclusive from Tokyo studio Shapefarm, led by creative director Jakob Lundgren (credits: It Takes Two, A Way Out).

🔪 BLACKWOOD, melee breakdown from developers AttritoM7 as they tune combat for a summer Steam launch. Combat is about timing, parries, dodges and context finishers; a soft camera lock, positioning and inverse kinematics make hits feel HEAVY while keeping control. Wiping enemies in toilets, warehouses and subways, built for a proper KILLER.
