Inti Creates has announced Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX 3, a new sequel to their stylish 2D action series.

Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX 3 is in development for Windows PC (via Steam) and Nintendo Switch 2 with a release set for 2027.

Here’s a brief blurb on the game, plus its reveal trailer:

The third entry in the high-flying 2D action series, Luminous Avenger iX 3 sees Copen back in his home world facing a new threat. A mysterious girl appears before him, bringing warnings of otherworldly invaders known as “iX Bearers.” Featuring the same classic 2D action as the previous games, iX 3 ups the intensity with a new weapon: the twin energy swords, “Divide Edge.”

iX 3 also brings unprecedented levels of character customization with the “Code Customizer” system, allowing you to build up Copen’s strengths as you see fit, provided you can manipulate the system to your benefit!]
