Family Friendly Gaming News
Apex, North Carolina - May 7, in the year of our Lord
2025 - Limited Run Games, a premium publisher of
physical games, has announced that brand new 16-bit shoot ‘em up
Earthion will be launching on PC, PlayStation®4, PlayStation®5,
Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo® Switch™ in 2025, and will also be
available on a physical cartridge for the Genesis & Mega Drive.
Created by Japanese developer Ancient Corporation, studio of the
legendary video game composer Yuzo Koshiro (Streets of Rage,
ActRaiser), Earthion is a space-themed 2D side scrolling shooter
that sees players guide space fighter pilot Azusa Takahashi
through eight chaotic levels, each with their own unique
environments, enemies, and screen-filling boss fights.
Earthion has been developed to run natively on SEGA Genesis &
Mega Drive, pushing the original 16-bit hardware to its absolute
limit, and includes an original soundtrack from Yuzo Koshiro.
Returning to his Koshiro’s 16-bit roots, Earthion features 27
original tracks, alongside an incredible soundscape of effects
to transport players back to a golden age of retro gaming.
Highly customisable scanline configurations allow players to get
an authentic retro experience on modern displays.
Earthion is being created by an all-star team including Makoto
Wada (Gotta Protectors, Royal Anapoko Academy) and Yuzo Koshiro
(Streets of Rage, ActRaiser). Japanese artist Mitsuhiro Arita,
best known for his work illustrating Marvel® Comics and the
Pokémon™ Trading Card Game, also lent his hand to two stunning
key art pieces for Earthion.
