The retro shooter Ion Fury from Voidpoint and 3D Realms attracted players mainly by using the classic Build engine, which in the past has powered such classics as Duke Nukem 3D, Shadow Warrior or Blood. Regardless of the engine, this was a pretty damn good and fun shooter, so we might not be the only ones excited that a full sequel was announced at the Realms Deep 2022 event.

Phantom Fury brings back protagonist Shelly “Bombshell” Harrison. Studio Slipgate Ironworks, responsible for the action-adventure Graven, equipped him with a robotic arm and sent him into an action-adventure inspired by the road movie genre. The game promises more than 20 types of weapons, a variety of enemies and locations, as well as many difficult bosses.. We can also look forward to improving the abilities of the robotic arm or the main character’s costume.
This time we are also waiting for about exploring a more interactive environment, so that as Shelly we can fly a helicopter, play arcade games, hack terminals or solve puzzles in the environment. The creators, once again backed by 3D Realms as a publisher, say that once you see something, you will most likely be able to interact with it.
The first trailer indicates that this time we can say goodbye to the Build engine and welcome a little more modern technology, although the retro style is still in place. In addition, the trailer does not skimp on various references, for example, the trailer version of the shooter Duke Nukem 3D since 2001, and at the very end shows that Phantom Fury will also offer a crossover of sorts with the classic SiN shooter. from 1998. Obviously, main character Blade and his iconic gun are making a comeback, so this will at least be a good cameo.
Phantom Fury will be released during 2023 available for PC (Steam), PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch. We remind you that it is still in development Aftershock expansion for the original Ion Fury. We should see this addition before the end of this year, although it’s interesting that there was no word about it during Realms Deep.
