Indie game developer and publisher Outerminds Inc. announced that Turbo Kid will be released for Nintendo Switch next month. The old-school Metroidvania was released over a year ago on Steam, and since then we've kinda wondered when they would eventually port the game up for consoles. Well, that time is now, but just for the Switch, as it arrives on August 5, 2025. With the news comes a new trailer, which we have for you here.
Turbo Kid
Set in a retro-futuristic 80s vision of 1997, gamers play as Turbo Kid, our comic-book lovin' hero, as he takes on a manipulative Preacher and his devoted disciples to free a confined Wasteland town from their theocratic rule. A nightmare vision of the 90s, Turbo Kid is set in a world where humanity has broken down, water is scarce, tyrannical warlords roam the Wasteland, and bikes are the steeds of choice for would-be saviors. Massive worlds crammed full of surprises and danger await as you upgrade and build, blasting, slashing, running, jumping, crawling, and yes, riding your way to victory while immersing you in an original soundtrack provided by the masters of electronica, Le Matos!
