Pixelated Arena Shooter Anarkade Cooks Up Carnage on Consoles and PC Today

Gather friends and rivals alike in this chaotic 2D arena shooter

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA –  September 23, 2024 – Anarkade, the bomb-tastic multiplayer arena shooter from developer Pixelatom and publisher Blowfish Studios, blasts its way onto Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4|5 with backwards compatibility, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, as well as PC and Mac via Steam and Epic Games Store today at 4:00 p.m. PT/9:00 a.m. AEST.


Unleash a storm of bloody carnage in fast-paced arena-style matchups, utilizing the environment to dive, jump, and out-maneuver opponents. Battle it out across six spontaneously selected stages, each with its own distinct hazards, physics, and other perilous pitfalls. Skirmish in slippery ice-encrusted arenas, scorching deserts, or even outer space.


Unload digital mayhem with a random selection of screen-shaking weapons. With Python revolver in hand, ask if those punks are feelin' lucky, or shower the field with a hailstorm of lead from the rapid-firing Gatling gun. 


For those who believe guns are for show and knives for pros, bladed options await skilled combatants eager to get up close and personal. Or, toss the knives and ballistics aside and just blow everything to hell with the room-clearing bazooka and bowling ball bombs for the most boom for the proverbial buck.


Thanks to full crossplay support, hop online and compete in a worldwide combat fest with both quickplay and custom rooms. Revive the glory days of multiplayer couch matches in single or tournament-style local player modes. Equip a silly selection of hats and other fashionable accessories to perfect that killer look while fragging fools with a collection of gas masks, Viking apparel, and much more. 


“We designed Anarkade with the irresistible essence of late-night couch chaos and bloody arena-based combat,” said Javier Arias, Founder and Lead Developer, Pixelatom. “We hope the fast-paced shootouts, humorous death animations, and unpredictable matchups will have players shouting ‘just one more game’ for years to come. ”


Anarkade launches today on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4|5 with backwards compatibility, Xbox Series X|S,  Xbox One, as well as PC and Mac via Steam and Epic Games Store featuring language support for English, Spanish (Latin America), Spanish (Spain), Portuguese (Brazil), Portuguese (Portugal), French, German, and Russian.
