Velocity 2X shoots to release on Switch today

Indie developer Futurlab and Curve Digital have announced that Velocity 2X is out now on Switch, bringing futuristic shoot em' up action to the platform.

Players must hurtle their way through 66 increasingly difficult levels in a bid to not only beat the game but also each other. Online leaderboards are included making the challenge on the Switch social, naturally. 

With gorgeous sci-fi art and music from Joris de Man, composer for the Killzone series and Horizon Zero Dawn, Velocity®2X oozes quality from every polygon, a true modern arcade classic.

This will be the first time a Velocity title has appeared on a Nintendo platform. A direct successor to Velocity, Velocity®2X follows the story of Lt. Kai Tana, a brave pilot who has found herself stranded a long way from home after getting sucked through a black hole. Discovered and experimented on by an evil alien race called the Vokh, Kai Tana has recently escaped with her “Quarp Jet” and must outrun her captors.
