Azure Striker Gunvolt 3 will shine on Nintendo Switch next year

The chaos of arcade action returns in 2022

One of the nicest announcements at this week’s New Game Expo Plus (NGPX) presentation was confirmation that the beautiful pixel action series Azure Striker Gunvolt will be making his return next. Currently in development at Inti Creates, Azure Striker Gunvolt 3 will explode on the Nintendo Switch sometime in 2022.

A sequence of Nintendo 3DS releases Azure Striker Gunvolt (2014) and Azure Striker Gunvolt 2 (2016), the new title will bring a new series of characters and hyperkinetic missions, with series director Yoshihisa Tsuda joining LEVEL 5 supervisor Keiji Inafune and Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon director Hiroki Miyazawa to create a new intensive, dramatic and pulsating action sequence.

You can check out the announcement video below, along with some clips of a demo built into action. It looks very smooth.
