MIAMI BEACH, Florida – Nov. 21, 2024 – ANTONBLAST, the fast-paced explosive action platformer all about destruction from developer Summitsphere and publisher Joystick Ventures, smashes towards Happy Hour with its launch trailer premiere as part of The MIX Fall Showcase. Lean into Anton’s destructive momentum when the game launches on PC via Steam and Nintendo Switch on Tuesday, Dec. 3.
Watch the Launch Trailer here
Satan (voiced by Gianni Matragrano of ULTRAKILL fame) has stolen Dynamite Anton’s prized collection of sippable Spirits for daring to be redder than the devil! Unfortunately for the prince of darkness, Anton is one of Boiler City’s most destructive destruction workers, and wields a Mighty F’n Hammer…and a dedicated scream button.
Guide the unstoppable force that is Anton’s screaming red face through an explosive, bizarre world. Rage alongside colleagues like Anton’s cranked-out co-worker (and second playable character!) Annie and disgraced casino owner Brulo. Detonate anything and everything to make the devil pay for his dastardly dirty deeds. Maintain speed with angry acrobatics in multiple modes beyond the main story, including Arcade, Time Trial, and Combo Chain modes.
“For the last three years, the team at Summitsphere has been hard at work on making sure ANTONBLAST is an absolute blast of maximum style,” says Tony Grayson, Fearless Leader at Summitsphere. “We’ve poured every inch of redness we have in our bodies into this game so Anton can be the reddest thing on the planet. On an unrelated note, I’m proud to announce that Summitsphere is now accepting blood donations.”
As showcased today at The MIX, ANTONBLAST launches into a full sprint towards its Tuesday, Dec. 3 launch date on PC via Steam and Nintendo Switch. Devil-haters with a penchant for demolition can follow Summitsphere on their official website, Twitter/X, TikTok, and Instagram, join their Discord server, and visit Joystick Ventures’ official website and follow them on Twitter/X.
