Indie developer Batterystaple Games announced 20XX sequel 30XX is finally hitting full release later this year.

The Mega Man X-inspired action platformer is leaving early access sometime in Q3 2023 for Windows PC (via Steam) and Nintendo Switch. Check out our preview for the game here!

Ahead of the full release is a newly released update, available now, which adds the new “Maker Mode” that lets users create their own custom levels.

Here’s a rundown on the game:

The Year is…

30XX combines the crisp controls and fluid movement you love from action platformers like Mega Man X, the replayability of a modern Roguelike (Binding of Isaac, Enter the Gungeon, Dead Cells, etc) and co-op play into a single gorgeous package.

Awaken a thousand years after 20XX to realize the world that needed you is gone, changed irreversibly by the advent of the Synthetic Mind and a human race that’s lost the will to reach for the stars. Explore the lush, verdant prison our world has become, and fight to save what remains.

Rise. Fight. Fall. Adapt. There’s a sublime meaning in this endless cycle, somewhere, buried deep.

Features:

• Pulse-pounding action, precise platforming, and beautiful spritework
• Characters with fully distinct playstyles – master Ace’s swift, combo-friendly Techniques and Nina’s intricate Power Fusion system for even more replayability
• A fresh new set of levels, items, and powers every time you play – 30XX is never the same game twice!
• Roguelike-style progression that lets you tune the game’s systems and difficulty as you play, even after you win
• A robust level editor – the same tools the developers use! – that lets you build single level chunks or entire custom campaigns
• Local and online multiplayer, so you can enjoy 30XX with a friend
