Konami Digital Entertainment B.V. and Scotland-based studio KeelWorks Ltd today announced a global publishing agreement for the studio’s first game, CYGNI: All Guns Blazing. CyGNI, a double-controlled (gameplay based on two thumb movements and controlling attacks in mobile games), a bird’s-eye view shooter game, combines nostalgic games with next-generation graphics, Hollywood-quality animation and endless action.
Richard Jones, B.V. Development Strategy Manager at Konami Digital Entertainment, said: “We are thrilled to announce our partnership with a young, talented studio like KeelWorks. It’s a real honor to work with them on a great project like CYGNI. From the moment we first played the game, we realized that it contains the DNA of classic KONAMI games, and one of our goals is to work on projects that bring the spirit of classic games to life. CYGNI’s high-octa gameplay, sleek design and great graphics breathe new life into the shoot ;em up style.”
CYGNI: All Guns Blazing is still actively being developed for PCs and consoles. The broadcast window will be announced at a later date.
Dazzling visuals, gorgeous sounds and mind-boggling action make CYGNI: All Guns Blazing the pioneer of the next generation of shoots and em ups.
Without enough weapons and personnel, take a flight into a hellish sky to survive. Channel energy between weapons or shield systems to counter relentless waves of enemies from both land and air. Upgrade your ship, defeat massive alien monsters and fight for survival.
CYGNI appeals to the eye, ear and mind at the same time to deliver an exciting gaming experience. CYGNI aims not to reinvent shoots ;em ups, but to transfer this delightful type of game to a new generation experience.
Camped in the ruins of a long-lost civilization on the planet CYGNI, the colony is destroyed by a surprise attack by a powerful, biomechanical alien race. As one of the very few carrier pilots left in the fleet, you are the only line of defense against endless alien bombardment.
