Necromunda: Hired Gun - Reveal Trailer
There we are, Ian Beardman, killing people for money in the bowels of a hive city on the forsaken planet of Necromunda. We’ve got some guns, a grappling hook, and cybernetic upgrades we can upgrade for fancy technopowers. Oh, and we’ve got a dog friend, who we can also upgrade.
Streum On are no strangers to grim futurecities filled with gangs and robots and mutants, having started out making the janky-but-fascinatingE.Y.E.: Divine Cybermancy. Had the feeling of a giant mod, I say with great affection, lots of ideas and personality and quirks.
E.Y.E. was like a cyberpunk version of Warhammer 40k itself, so I’m glad to see Streum On get to play in this world again - and this time outside the confines of plodding Space Marine Terminator armour. Is it weird that I hope Necromunda: Hired Gun comes out a bit like E.Y.E.? But with a dog. And hey, any game with a grappling hook is at least a 7/10.
Necromunda: Hired Gun will launch June 1st onSteamandthe Epic Games Store, priced at £35/€40/$40. It’ll also be on PlayStation 5, PS4, Xbone, and Xbox Xeriex.
