Independent publishing powerhouse Wired Productions has revealed an exciting new partnership with acclaimed UK indie studio Mad Fellows, signaling a return to Wired's roots in music-driven games. This collaboration kicks off with the announcement of Aaero2: Black Razor Edition, set to launch later this year on PlayStation 5.
For months, both teams have been secretly developing this enhanced version of the cult rhythm shooter. Fans can watch the thrilling new trailer now, hinting at the high-octane action and pulsating soundtrack that awaits.
Aaero2, created by industry veterans with a history on titles like Guitar Hero and DJ Hero, uniquely blends fast-paced gameplay with captivating visuals and an electrifying musical score. The new Black Razor Edition will feature exclusive content from Wired's in-house music label, Black Razor Records, alongside standout tracks from renowned electronic music label Monstercat, promising to expand the game's acclaimed audio-visual experience.
This special edition will include tracks popularized by Wired Productions' own breakout hit, Arcade Paradise, as well as an enigmatic selection of songs by Lania Kea, a rising star within the Black Razor Records family. These new music tracks, complete with bespoke worlds, will also be available as two separate Music Packs. These packs will launch simultaneously on Steam and Xbox, ensuring that all fans can enjoy the new levels and strive for those coveted high scores.
Leo Zullo, Managing Director and co-founder of Wired Productions, expressed his enthusiasm: "We’ve always been drawn to games with soul, and with Mad Fellows, we’ve found creative partners who truly understand the power of music and emotion and the connections they create in video games. Wired is doubling down on what we love: games that break the mould, challenge the norm, and build passionate communities. Aaero2 is just the beginning."
Paul Norris, Managing Director at Mad Fellows, echoed the sentiment, highlighting the partnership's forward-looking vision for music-based games.
