Developer Videocult have announcedAirframe Ultra, a multiplayer battler where you race across a grimy industrial city on sick hoverbikes. I certainly wasn’t expecting the team behindRain World’scute slugcats to make such a drasticleft turn. Take a look at the cool bike slides and low-poly world below:

The Steam page only lists three features: hoverbikes, weapons, and vibes. To be fair, that’s all a game like this really needs, but the screenshots air out more details. You can customise your cyberpunk biker, for instance, and there also seem to be a few freely explorable areas, in addition to the street races and combat arenas.

Studio Videocult clearly have a knack for going viral, though. Early Rain WorldGIFsspread the word on the adorable slugcats, and likewise, developer Joar Jakobsson has beentweetingattractive Airframe Ultra clips months before it was even named. Remember devs, sharing (sweet sweet video game clips) is caring.
Airframe Ultra is definitely on my radar thanks to Rain World’s greatness, whose prestigious accolades include placements on RPS’sbest cats,best rain, andweirdest animalslists. More recently, Alexander Chatziioannouwrote about the Metroidvania’s Downpour expansion, saying the game “re-emerges as one of gaming’s most fearsome and unpredictable beasts, one whose language we can never hope to fully decipher - and is all the more fascinating for it.”
No release date yet for Airframe Ultra but you can find more details onSteam.
