Nex Machina
Nex Machina from Housemarque is finally here!
From the team that created Resogun and in collaboration with Eugene Jarvis (Robotron, Smash TV) comes an intense arcade shooter that blends the best of coin-op skillful gameplay and modern cutting edge voxel tech.
Travel through a diverse alternate universe where robots have taken over and humans have an unhealthy symbiosis with their screened devices. Starting from the “Techno Forest” you make your way through ever increasing robot infestation as you attempt to save humanity.
Particle explosions and neon lights are always better with a great soundtrack. Ari Pulkkinen (RESOGUN) returns to helm an adrenaline fueled set of tracks that blend synthwave and retro game influences.

Nex Machina local co-op and launch date announced!
Hello everyone!
It’s been a while since you’ve seen new footage from our new game Nex Machina, but now we’re finally glad to announce that Nex Machina will be arriving on both PlayStation 4 and PC Steam on June 20th.
This is the day that Housemarque’s arcade games will go down in infamy for creating one of the simplest, but the purest action arcade games of our generation. A game that will remind you of the arcade classics of the 80’s but add on modern technology to complement that pure twin-stick joy.
Additionally we would also like to announce local co-op. This is something that we’ve been holding on for a long time but many of our friends already guessed that it will be a main stay, since it is a Housemarque title.
Local co-op will allow two players to play side by side, just like in the old school arcade halls, competing or helping each other out. So please enjoy the new trailer with new footage from winter tide level and two player scenes.
And remember to keep your eyes open for Nex Machina arriving on June 20th for the PlayStation 4 and PC Steam.

Nex Machina PC Announcement
This is our first PC game launch since Supreme Snowboarding in 1999 (Outland is on Steam, but was ported 3 years after the console release) so it has been a long time coming.
“It’s amazing and humbling to be able to get back to our roots in PC development, where we started almost 22 years ago”, said Ilari Kuittinen, CEO of Housemarque.
Officially there is no date to announce yet, but our aim is to get Nex Machina out during the summer on PC and PS4. As twin-sticks go, the game will be controller focused, but we are also fine-tuning a mouse and keyboard control scheme as we speak.
“Working on the PC build has come with its own set of challenges, but our friends at Nvidia have helped us realize that Housemarque magic on the PC as well”, said Mikael Haveri, Head of Publishing.
Get ready for more Nex Machina related news in the days and weeks before launch. There is still quite a bit that we haven’t yet announced and a few question marks still remain.
Until next time, enjoy the “PC announcement trailer” that features a brand new level of Nex Machina, and add it to your wishlist on Steam.
Sincerely,
Housemarque Team
