Originally announced last year, Neon White made an explosive return to the front of player consciousness with a brand-new trailer at this year's Summer Game's Fest. The trailer shows off a little more gameplay as well as some cutscene animation and a very, very exciting release date for the game.
The premise of Neon White is that the player controls a damned soul attempting to earn redemption in a place of heaven. This goal is achieved by reaching heaven through violence, shooting and slashing through enemies in quick succession. Like other games from Annapurna Interactive, it is hyper stylized and distinct, unmistakable as anything else.

First and foremost is the biggest announcement of the new Neon White trailer: the release date. The game is coming out on June 16th, this very month, in just five days. This is certainly a surprise, but no doubt a welcome one for those wishing for more news about the game. The gameplay is a bizarre but not unwelcome mix of genres: fast-paced FPS gameplay mixed with cards. To be precise, it looks like the cards that players are using represent the attacks they are using, acting as guns and spells with limited ammunition. Players repeatedly zip between high platforms above an endless blue expanse and try not to die, all while looking very stylish. With the release date right around the corner, players should keep their ears open to see if this one should be snapped up or passed on.
