There's a flashing images warning at the beginning of this trailer, but it moves on pretty fast, so we'll reiterate — this is a very flashy trailer. Kill Knight, a twin-stick shooter coming to PS5 and PS4, has a bold style, and that's shown off to full effect as it reveals its 3rd October 2024 release date.
Playing as the titular character, this is a fast-paced arcade action game all about aggression and precision. You make your way through five increasingly challenging levels, wielding various firearms and blades as you fend off hundreds of demons. Though it looks like it's a roguelike, it actually isn't; its stages don't change and the threats remain the same.
There is some progression to be found — as you complete objectives in each attempt, you'll unlock new equipment for your character. Beyond that, though, this seems to be a very straightforward action title, all about skill, survival, and score, with global leaderboards for each level of course.
