QUByte Interactive :
May 15, 2024, São Paulo, Brazil: Inspired by classic titles and with graphic style of the first PlayStation console, Extinction Rifts pays homage to the golden age of the genre and brings new gameplay elements.
A frenetic action boomer shooter where your power of destruction increases as you shoot enemies and destroy objects.
The more you fight, the more energy you store in your special glove, capable of eliminating all the enemies in an entire stage with a single punch.
Manage your pace of play and see how devastating your punch can be!
Extinction Rifts is scheduled for release in the second half of 2024.
The game will be released simultaneously for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Playstation 4, Playstation 5, Nintendo Switch and Steam.
The Extinction Rifts page on Steam is now available and you can add the game to your wish list.
In a dystopian future, mysterious monoliths have suddenly appeared on planet earth, causing fear and doubt. Humanity, fearful of the origin and power of these artifacts, began to debate what should be done, always inclined to destroy them.
However, a paramilitary terrorist group called New World has taken possession of five of the monoliths around the world in order to use their supposed powers for their cause: the selective extinction of the human race!
It's now up to you, armed with a super-powerful item, the Adreno-Gauntlet, to locate all the monoliths and destroy them completely to ensure the survival of the planet!
"We always wanted to make an ironic game with a certain acid humor in the best style of classics like Duke Nukem and Shadow Warrior. Extinction Rifts has that tone as the message it carries is that we want to destroy what we don't understand because we think it's always a threat. After more than 14 years developing and publishing games and specializing in retro games, curiously, this is our first authorial FPS" - Marcel Bernardi, QUByte’s Lead Artist.
In Extinction Rifts, an enormous amount of power is required to destroy the monoliths and only the Adreno-Gauntlet is capable of doing it. Can you destroy them all and avoid extinction?
