Turbo Overkill Slices onto Xbox Series X|S Today

Attention all Xbox fans—buckle up, because the highly praised cyberpunk shooter, Turbo Overkill, is finally hitting your consoles with a bang today.

Born from the creative minds at indie studio Trigger Happy Interactive and brought to you by the iconic Apogee Entertainment, Turbo Overkill is a thrilling mix of classic shooter nostalgia and modern game design. Paying homage to legendary titles like Doom and Quake, this game throws you into the chaotic world of Paradise, a neon-lit dystopia where you embody Johnny Turbo, a cyber-enhanced anti-hero. Equipped with a wildly imaginative arsenal and a chainsaw leg, Johnny’s on a mission for vengeance.

Welcome to Paradise—though it’s far from the utopia its name suggests. This sprawling futuristic city is a hotbed of corporate deceit and menacing rogue AIs. As Johnny Turbo, you’ll battle through three vast episodes filled with meticulously designed levels, unforgettable characters, and relentless action—all running seamlessly at 60 FPS.

Turbo Overkill’s Key Features:

• Iconic Combat: Arm yourself with outrageous weapons like dual magnums and plasma railguns, turning each fight into a spectacular display of gore.

• Dynamic Gameplay: Master the art of wall-running, double jumping, and mid-air chainsaw slides for smooth, high-speed combat that rewards creative play.

• Grandiose Levels: Fight across various settings, from neon slums to corporate skyscrapers, and even outer space in Turbo Overkill’s layered episodes.

• Enhanced for Xbox: Experience flawless 60 FPS and enhanced visuals on Xbox Series X|S for an unmatched immersive journey.

Turbo Overkill comes alive with voice performances from a top-tier cast:

• Patricia Summersett (known for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild) steps into the shoes of Ripper, the enigmatic bounty hunter.

• Jon St. John, famed for Duke Nukem, lends his voice to SAMM, Johnny’s witty AI sidekick.

• Gianni Matragrano voices the cunning Maw, while DB Cooper (from BioShock 2 fame) portrays The Exec, bringing his own secrets to the story.

• Plus, Tay Zonday (of “Chocolate Rain” fame) is Dr. Nyx, Johnny’s skilled bio-cybernetics expert.

Their contributions breathe life into Turbo Overkill’s gripping narrative, adding depth and personality to every battle and conversation.

“Turbo Overkill stands out as something truly special,” says Jeron Moore, Executive Producer at Apogee Entertainment. “Sam Prebble poured every ounce of creativity into this game, and it shows in every pixel and sound bite. It brings dream shooter elements to life, and seeing it on Xbox is a dream realized.”

Creator Sam Prebble adds, “This game is a testament to the kind of action-packed madness I love. It’s relentless, stylish, and packed with carnage. Console players, hold onto your hats—this is one of the fastest shooters you’ll experience. Turbo Overkill was aptly named.”

Complementing the gameplay is an electrifying soundtrack crafted by Chipper Hammond, Nikola Jeremic, and Tim Stoney. It’s a sonic blend of cyberpunk synth, chunky metal riffs, and cinematic atmospheres that syncs perfectly with the game’s furious pace.

And there’s even more to enjoy with the Turbo Overkill soundtrack available now, featuring two albums: the “Episode 1 Soundtrack” and a “Soundtrack Selections” set. Both collections are available on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and more, with additional albums anticipated soon for Episodes 2 and 3.
