Kakehashi Games and the Japanese hip hop group-turned-developer Don Yasa Crew are excited to announce that their upcoming 2D top down action title, Sonokuni, is set to launch on PC (Steam) in early 2025.
During a sneak peek shown during the PC Gaming Show Most Wanted Showcase 2024, a new track (“DO”) from Sonokuni's award winning soundtrack was also revealed, alongside an updated playable demo which you can jump into right now on Steam.
Alongside the above announcements, also revealed is a brand new (and much requested!) ‘Speedrun’ mode which will be included with the game at launch. Players will have to operate at the bleeding edge of their abilities to overcome the challenges of this new mode, where speed and efficiency are rewarded with the best completion times. Check out the demo for an early look at this new mode in a challenging ‘mirrored’ version of the available stages!
In Sonokuni, players will take on the role of Takeru, a lone assassin tasked with raiding a surreal superpower empowered by biotechnology. Join in her struggle to balance the morality of extreme violence against the defence of her own people, in a story inspired by real-life Japanese mythology (with every moment punctuated with a visceral soundtrack from Japanese developer and hip hop group, Don Yasa Crew).
Are you ready to deliver vengeance? Play the demo and wishlist the game now over on the Sonokuni Steam page!
