Overview
- Nekki unveiled SPINE during the Future Games Show at gamescom on Wednesday, announcing a summer 2027 release window while releasing a trailer and screenshots.
- The developer confirmed launches for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and PC (Steam and Epic) and said a Switch 2 edition exists but has no release window.
- SPINE centers on fluid close-quarters combat called Freeflow Combat that chains dodges, disarms, parries and weapon grabs and uses a special combat camera to create a cinematic feel.
- The story follows Redline, a street artist who steals a sentient combat implant called Spine to search for her captured brother inside Tensor City, a neon megacity ruled by an AI social-rating system.
- Nekki is driving pre-release interest with Steam and store wishlists and a free prequel comic called Bullet Dancers via its mailing list, a rollout that signals more marketing updates ahead of launch.
