Exchange blows, eliminate threats, and evolve with cybernetics ahead of the Q2 2025 launch
21, Feb. 2025 – KIBORG, the fast-paced action rogue-lite with brutal, cybernetic-enhanced combat from developer Sobaka Studio, jacks into Steam Next Fest to enhance the event with a new demo showcasing the revamped gameplay structure, available now.
Crush skulls with cybernetic implants and power-enhancing augmentations as Morgan Lee in hopes of winning a twisted game show with a tantalizing prize: freedom from a 1300-year prison sentence. Not even death grants respite the warden uses advanced resuscitation technology to ensure all inmates serve their time in full. The only way out is through bloody, brutal ascension on “The Last Ticket.”
Thankfully, Morgan has some help from futuristic cybernetic implants and power-enhancing augmentations. Punish contestants with robotic arms, shock and vaporize foes with advanced weaponry, or just use good old fashioned melee strikes to punch off the enemy’s torso. Each new level of the prison tower brings new foes…and new ways to defeat them.
Experiment with hundreds of combinations to discover deadly synergies to deviate from the norm and devastate foes with monstrous mutations no human should ever bear. Become an unkillable hybrid of man and machine, and deliver death to anyone and everything blocking the way to freedom.
The KIBORG demo represents the first look at the brand new structure for the game, inspired by the now-delisted KIBORG: Arena prologue from Q3 2024. After fan feedback, Sobaka Studio decided to revamp the full game, taking the heart-pounding wave-based action and tower ascent of the prologue and building it out into a full experience.
“We originally had incredibly different plans for KIBORG, but everyone loved the idea of climbing and escaping a prison tower, so we thought…why not make that the whole game?” said Dmitry Kachkov, Head of Sobaka Studio. “And if you miss KIBORG: Arena, don’t worry – we’re putting the content from the prologue in the full game when it launches in Q2 2025!”
Play KIBORG’s Steam Next Fest demo available starting today, ahead of the Q2 2025 launch on Steam, PlayStation 4 & 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One, with support for English, Traditional and Simplified Chinese, Russian, Japanese, and Korean language text.
