Cult-Film-Turned-Metroidvania ‘Turbo Child’ Lands August Change Launch

Followers of the cult 2015 film Turbo Child, rejoice! The upcoming Metroidvania sequel to the post-apocalyptic motion film is coming to Change on fifth August 2025.

Accompanied by attractive pixel artwork and a incredible electronica soundtrack from Le Matos, even for those who’ve by no means seen or heard of the film, it is one to regulate. Here is a rundown on what to anticipate:

BMX Fight – Who wants a horse when you’ve gotten a motorbike with perspective? Name your BMX anytime to spice up via maps, unlock shortcuts, smash enemies, or simply pull sick methods. It’s the primary true Metroidvania the place two wheels matter (no must fact-check that).

Slash, Shoot, Splat – Machetes? After all. Turbo Glove™? Completely. From electrical blasts to noticed blades, your toolkit is overflowing with over-the-top destruction. Rip via enemies with fashion and switch each display screen into a twig of superbly deranged pixel gore.

Freedom to Discover, Freedom to Wreck – Set simply after the occasions of the movie, forge your path via a twisted world full of weird characters and sudden decisions. Who you assist—or harm—will form your journey throughout a number of playthroughs.

All Killer, No Filler – Love lore? It’s right here. Hate it? Skip it. We constructed Turbo Child with pure gameplay in thoughts: no unskippable cutscenes, no partitions of textual content—simply quick, fluid motion and versatile storytelling that works whether or not you’re exploring or speedrunning.
