Cyberpunk Run-and-Gun Neon Inferno Delayed Until November 20, 2025

 

Developer Zenovia Interactive aims to use the extra time to add additional polish and potential new features to the highly-anticipated shooter

 Independent games publisher Retroware and developer Zenovia Interactive have announced a new release date for their upcoming cyberpunk run-and-gun title, Neon Inferno. Originally slated for October 2, the game will now launch on November 20, 2025.

Though development is nearly complete, the delay stems from a combination of factors, including the differing certification processes across platforms and an increasingly crowded fall release calendar. The extra time will allow the team to apply additional polish and ensure Neon Inferno delivers the best experience possible when it blazes onto all major consoles and Steam this holiday season.

You can read the full statement from the Sri Kankanahalli, Neon Inferno’s creator, below:

Key Features:

• Shoot close, aim far: a dynamic blend of side-scroller and gallery-shooter, where the action takes place in both foreground and background (like playing Contra and Wild Guns at the same time).

• Glorious 32-bit Style: A sci-fi cityscape rendered in beautiful pixel art and backed by an evocative soundtrack

• Two-Player Co-op: With danger lurking around every street corner, wouldn’t you be better off with a friend?

• Satisfying Arcade Challenge: Enjoy a playthrough on an easier mode…or put your skills and resilience to the test with 1-credit-clear arcade mode.

Neon Inferno will unload on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam, with a simultaneous physical release through Limited Run Games. Be sure to wishlist your copy on Steam today.
