Launches Tomorrow on Switch 2, PS5 and Steam"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Tomorrow, Tuesday 15 July, is the day Denshattack! stops teasing and hits the tracks for real. Developed by Undercoders and published by Fireshine Games, it is the kind of game that resists a one-line pitch: imagine Tony Hawk&#8217;s Pro Skater, except your board is an entire gravity-defying train and the backdrop is a neon Japanese dystopia built from the bones of the Dreamcast era.<\/p>\n<h2>Trick Your Train Through Dystopian Japan<\/h2>\n<p>Denshattack! puts you in the boots of Emi Araki, a 19-year-old ramen delivery driver who stumbles into the underground world of Denshattackers \u2014 rebels who pull skateboard-style stunts on trains to resist the Miraid\u014d Corporation, a shadowy megacorp that has sealed the ultra-rich inside protective urban domes while the rest of Japan runs wild outside.<\/p>\n<p>The gameplay is pure arcade satisfaction: ollie, kickflip, grind, and chain manuals across 60+ stages roaming through recognisable Japanese regions \u2014 Kyushu, Osaka, Tokyo, Hokkaido \u2014 before spilling into fantastical set pieces that defy geography entirely. Boss battles escalate from eccentric to completely unhinged, each drawing from regional gang culture to keep the surprises coming.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/denshattack-ss2.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Denshattack! train riding a pink looping track through a surreal landscape\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of Fireshine Games<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Watch the Official Trailer<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"gt-video\">\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LVBKl_9e4Yk\" title=\"Denshattack! - Creator Reveal Trailer\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0;\" allow=\"accelerometer;clipboard-write;encrypted-media;gyroscope;picture-in-picture;web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><figcaption>Denshattack! \u2014 Creator Reveal Trailer via Fireshine Games on YouTube<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>A Soundtrack Worth the Ticket Alone<\/h2>\n<p>The music is one of Denshattack!&#8217;s genuine standout credentials. Undercoders brought in Tee Lopes \u2014 the composer behind the Sonic Mania soundtrack and a go-to name for that electric Y2K arcade energy \u2014 alongside Richard Jacques and SEGA veteran vocalist Takenobu Mitsuyoshi. The full game ships with both English and Japanese voice acting, and the aesthetic sits squarely in Dreamcast territory: if Jet Set Radio and Crazy Taxi had a train-obsessed little sibling, Denshattack! would be it.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/denshattack-ss3.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Denshattack! yellow train bursting through a manga-style speed lines effect\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of Fireshine Games<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Where to Play \u2014 and How to Get In Free First<\/h2>\n<p>Denshattack! launches tomorrow across <strong>PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam<\/strong>.
