Inti Creates has confirmed the development of Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX 3, the third installment in the 2D action series. The title will arrive on Nintendo Switch 2 and PC via Steam in 2027, continuing Copen's story in his home world. A mysterious girl appears to warn him about invaders from another world called iX Bearers.
New main weapon and graphics engine adapted to modern hardware 🎮
The game retains the classic 2D action of its predecessors, but intensifies gameplay with a new main weapon that promises to alter the combat pace. Although Inti Creates has not detailed the graphics engine, it is expected to leverage the capabilities of Switch 2 to deliver smoother animations and a higher density of enemies on screen. The PC version will allow adjustable graphics settings.
Copen doesn't rest, but his new sword does ask for a vacation ⚔️
Because if there was one thing Copen was missing, it was another weapon to learn how to handle while intergalactic invaders knock on his door. The poor mysterious girl appears to warn him, and he responds with a new lethal gadget. Good thing the iX Bearers are patient, because between one tutorial and another, the invasion could wait for a coffee.
