New trailer at The MIX Spring Showcase details launch date for highly anticipated road trip-inspired shooter, playable level at PAX East 2024
AALBORG, Denmark —March 15, 2024 —Phantom Fury, the road movie-inspired first-person shooter starring Ion Fury’s Shelly “Bombshell” Harrison, developed by Slipgate Ironworks and published by 3D Realms, comes to PC on Tuesday, April 23, with console versions launching later this year, as revealed during The MIX Spring Showcase. Fans that will attend PAX East will have the chance to get a quick taste of the Crater Bar level on March 21-24, 2024 at Booth #18019.
Suit up and head out on an all-new adventure as Shelly “Bombshell” Harrison, taking place years after the events of Ion Fury. After awakening from a coma with a shiny new bionic arm, Harrison takes on a new mission: journeying across the United States to track down a deadly artifact called the Demon Core.
Set off on a cross-country trip filled with over-the-top action sequences inspired by classic road movies. Survive shootouts at a seedy motel in Albuquerque, cause chaos in Chicago, and launch an assault on a Los Alamos research facility with Shelly’s exhaustive arsenal of over 20 weapons.
Tackle enemy encounters creatively – and explosively – across each highly interactive environment. Charge in with reckless abandon, wielding the Motherflakker– an armor-piercing shotgun–or take a more calculated approach by monitoring in-game computers and tossing Bowling Bombs toward groups of unsuspecting foes. Each of the over 20 weapons features unlockable upgrades and mods, allowing for a wide array of options no matter the odds Shelly faces.
Utilize Shelly’s bionic arm and enhance her combat capabilities with a suite of enhancements like shock-inducing punches and bullet-blocking shields as she fights against dangerous cyborgs, souped-up soldiers, and freakish mutations. Square off against larger-than-life boss battles and soar through the skies during pilotable helicopter sequences with plenty of explosions to go around.
“Shelly makes her triumphant return in Phantom Fury’s standalone adventure, and we can’t wait for fans to dive straight into the action,” said Frederik Schreiber, CEO of 3D Realms. “After planning this title for over a decade, we’re thrilled to get this action-packed FPS in the hands of players around the world.”
Phantom Furylaunches on PC Tuesday, April 23, 2024 for $24.99, with console version available later this year. Fans will have the opportunity to play the Crater Bar level at PAX East on March 21-24, 2024 at Booth #18019.

This squirrel has more than one trick, though. Need to make a quick escape? Fire off your weapon and use the recoil to propel yourself to safety.

New gameplay sets the stage for a galaxy-hopping getaway while debuting out-of-this-world weapons, characters and more
Walnut Creek, Calif. (March 15, 2024) — The intergalactic bandits shooting up the West in strategy shooter Wild Bastards will bring their hijinks to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch later this year alongside the previously confirmed release on PC (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1660840/Wild_Bastards/). Publisher Maximum Entertainment and developer Blue Manchu just announced the expansion of their interstellar upcoming title in a new trailer featured in The MIX’s Spring Games Showcase 2024:
Today’s gameplay looks to the looming threat that has Wild Bastards’ misfit outlaws on the run as they test an arsenal of futuristic weaponry against devious extraterrestrial threats spanning multiple planets. The footage debuts two new characters, each brimming with eccentric bravado reminiscent of Wild Bastards’ full roster, along with weapons and never-before-shown areas. The antics of these antiheroes demonstrate Wild Bastards’ compelling blend of fluid FPS action with thoughtful management of the bandits; these decision-making moments are key to plotting the bandits’ course to their next incredible haul.
Wild Bastards finds its lawbreakers hunted and nearly eradicated by Jebediah Chaste, a ruthlessly puritanical magnate. After killing all but two of the Bastards, Jebediah’s final targets are miraculously saved by a mysterious, sentient spaceship known as The Drifter. The Bastards are fleeing an unwinnable standoff, exploring an ever-changing and lawless galaxy rife with precious weapons and spoils, as well as grisly fates, in a grand attempt to resurrect their compatriots while living to steal another day.
While working to demystify The Drifter’s intentions in saving them, amass a gang of 13 playable and uniquely talented criminals, managing the relationships between them and guiding their growth. Juggle injuries and feuds while plotting a path through the galaxy, exploring and fleecing planets and, of course, shooting anyone or anything who gets in the way. Prevailing through Wild Bastards’ campaign also unlocks a Challenge Mode which adds modifiers and a steadily ramping challenge to keep outlaws on their toes.
Wild Bastards will be present and playable at Day of the Devs 2024: San Francisco Edition on March 17th at The Midway, San Francisco, CA from 3-8pm and on the GDC show floor in the Day of the Devs station from March 18-22. The onsite demo will also be available at MIX’s GDC press event Monday, March 18th at Terra Gallery, San Francisco, CA from 8-11pm.
