Indie game publisher Thunderful has partnered up with FuturLab to release the spiritual successor to the Velocity series called IKARO Will Not Die. The game is currently in the works for PC and Xbox as we speak, as the team behind it is attempting to design it to fit within the Velocity world. To do so, they are aiming to mimic the pace and precision those games used to have for this new third-person action title, while also improving on it with a plethora of new systems and mechanics. The game doesn't have a release window yet, but we do have more info about it below along with a teaser trailer.
