Next-gen bullet hell shooter CYGNI: All Guns Blazing knows exactly what it’s doing with some of the scenes in this release date reveal trailer, but hey, at least you’re now paying attention to a highly promising upcoming PS5 game. Due out on 6th August, and available both physically and digitally for $29.99, the publisher is promising “an unrelenting onslaught of eye-popping visuals, ear bursting soundscapes, and mind-melting action”.

The blurb reads: “Outgunned, outmanned, and out on your own, plunge into a sky full of hell in a last-ditch battle for survival. Choose to route power between weapons or shield systems and go up against unrelenting waves of ground and aerial enemies. Upgrade your ship by picking up new tech and take down colossal alien bosses in visceral combat. Do whatever it takes to survive.”

Interestingly, the press release is quite honest, noting that the title “does not seek to reinvent shoot-’em-ups, but to elevate the genre to deliver the heightened sensations of a truly next-generation experience”. That seems like a reasonable goal to us! If you’re not familiar with the game but want to see some gameplay anyway, you can find almost 20 minutes of footage through here.
