During the pre-show for Opening Night Live 2025 broadcast, this cool new indie game was revealed. Denshattack! is a new high-speed platformer by Fireshine Games and developer Undercoders where you, for some reason, do sick platforming tricks as a train.
Yeah, forget multi-track drifting, Denshattack! (Densha is the Japanese word for trains, by the way) has you jump, wall-ride and (naturally) grind on rails like it’s a Sonic Adventure. But instead of a high-speed hedgehog you’re controlling a high-speed rail. And you can do tricks like it’s Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, grind balance indicator included.
There will be 50+ levels of bonkers train action, from going underwater to fighting against a mecha magical girl made up of combined trains. This is one crazy train of a game, in a good way.
Speaking of the blue blur, Denshattack! features Tee Lopes as composer, who previously worked on Sonic Mania and Sonic Frontiers among others with more guest composers to join the game’s soundtrack through a collaboration with video game music label Kid Katana.
Denshattack! is directed by David Jaumandreu, who previously worked on the recently-released Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound.
“Creating the world of Denshattack! has been a joy for the team,” said David Jaumandreu. “Inspired by the art, culture and music of Japan, and, of course, our love of trains and skateboarding, Denshattack! is a project we’ve wanted to make for a long time, and we can’t wait for the world to experience what we’ve been building.”
And if you’ve seen the trailer, Denshattack! is unapologetically a love letter to Japanese culture from the lens of folks outside Japan. It’s the reverse situation of Hotel Barcelona, more or less. And just as cool.
Denshattack! is targeting to release in early 2026 for the PS5, PC (Steam) and Xbox Series X|S.
