Ghostrunner has a new gameplay trailer that debuted during the Future Games Show, and this one does not skimp on the violence. The shots feature the main character parkouring up the tower that they are trying to infiltrate, while also quickly dispatching enemies with their sword. This is one of the few cases where bringing a knife to a gunfight seems to work, since the enemies have a hard time hitting this sword-wielding assassin with their bullets.
Gun wielding enemies are only one type in Ghostrunner it appears. Others have shields and there are larger robots to take down too. Some will be more difficult to take down but the player character does have access to other abilities outside of fast running and sword proficiency. In one scene the character pushes away an enemy through telekinesis, and the could just be one of many other abilities that the character has access to.
Ghostrunner’s official description reads:
Blood-thirsty enemies, an environment full of deadly traps, virtual reality overlayed on top of real space—all this and more awaits you as you make your way, level by level, towards the top of the tower. Your high-tech blade slices through flesh and metal, delivering gory one-hit kills. Bullet-time mechanics give you an edge in fast, high-adrenaline combat. Unique cybernetic skills help you cope with enemies and an environment that can end your life at any moment.
Ghostrunner will be released on PS4, Xbox One, and Steam later this year.
