Turbo Overkill heads to Steam Early Access in April

Turbo Overkill will make its way to PC this spring.

Announced today, the game, which will be published by Apogee Entertainment, will land on Steam Early Access on April 22 for its first of three planned episodes. In the cyberpunk FPS title, Johnny Turbo must bring their crime-ridden hometown back to normal with the aid of guns and their chainsaw leg.

Developer Trigger Happy Interactive’s Sam Prebble, who is best known for their award-winning DOOM II mod Total Chaos, said this about the title:

“Since I fell in love with the genre as a player, I’ve always wanted to contribute something to the FPS canon as a developer. Turbo uses my favorite parts of modern games like Titanfall and Apex Legends as a lens to examine the classics we grew up on. Do those level designs and challenges still work in a world where the player is more powerful than ever?”

Apogee and 3D Realms founder Scott Miller said this:

“This is easily the most excited I’ve been about a shooter since the glory years of Apogee, when we were creating global hits like Wolfenstein 3D, Max Payne, Duke Nukem, and Prey.”

Turbo Overkill can be wishlisted on Steam right now. The game will make its way onto the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch later this year. Turbo Overkill was one of the best games we saw at PAX West last year.
