As a part of the Realms Deep occasion, 3D Realms and Voidpoint have introduced that the long-awaited growth to 2019’s Ion Fury, Aftershock, might be launched October 2, 2023. Completely satisfied Monday!

Ion Fury is a contemporary sport inbuilt Duke Nukem 3D’s legendary Construct Engine. In plenty of methods, it’s a religious successor to Duke 3D. Actually, it will most likely have been a Duke Nukem sport if 3D Realms hadn’t handed the character over to Gearbox.

As a substitute, you play as Shelly “Bombshell” Harrison. The growth pack has her as soon as once more going up in opposition to her nemesis, Dr. Heskel. Past merely being a map pack, Aftershock provides new enemies, weapons, and a bike for Shelly. Past that, there’s additionally a brand new problem and an “Organize Mode” for the bottom sport that permits you to expertise every little thing once more in a remixed manner.

Cool beans. I don’t suppose that Ion Fury is kind of as nice as Duke Nukem 3D – largely due to a harder-to-manage arsenal and fewer spectacular degree design – however as a religious successor, it hit the mark. I imply, I give it some thought, and I’m like, this might have been Duke Nukem Eternally. As a substitute of the mess we received, they may have given us one thing like this.

Hopefully, the Aftershock growth improves issues in some considerable methods. I’m trying ahead to it.  Additionally, be aware that it is a completely different sport than Phantom Fury. That one is being executed by Slipgate Ironworks and is extra of a sequel.

Ion Fury: Aftershock releases October 2, 2023. Presently, it’s just for PC with no phrase on different platforms.
