Game developer Phoenix Game Productions, in collaboration with co-publishers 3DM Games and Gone Shootin, today announced that the fever-dream-inspired cyberpunk action game Tokyo Underground Killer will launch worldwide on Steam on September 5, 2025, priced at $9.99.
| Players step into the role of Kobayashi, the feared “Shinjuku Vampire” — a notorious assassin for Japan’s most powerful crime syndicate, Gokuraku. Cut your way through Tokyo’s back alleys in lightning-fast sword fights, harness 10 supernatural Blood Skills to summon fire tornadoes or drain enemies’ life force, and master unlockable abilities to defeat 10 uniquely challenging bosses. |
 |
| To celebrate this announcement, the team has released a brand-new gameplay video, offering the most in-depth look yet at the game’s adrenaline-fueled katana combat and the gritty life of protagonist Kobayashi in Tokyo’s crime-infested underworld — a place where dazzling neon lights meet unflinching, brutal violence. From rain-slick side streets in Shinjuku to the electric chaos of Akihabara, Tokyo Underground Killer blends over-the-top katana carnage with a neon-soaked Tokyo backdrop inspired by real-world locations |
 |
| The game is fully voiced in English and Japanese, featuring an all-star Japanese cast including the legendary Hidekatsu Shibata (Naruto, One Piece, Dragon Ball) as Ishihara — Kobayashi’s ruthless crime boss. Daniel Hedjazi (aka Bentoman), Studio Head and Director at Phoenix Game Productions, states: “Creating this game was our dream and passion for many years. We can’t wait for players to finally experience our violent, fever-dreamish vision of Tokyo. Between maniac Yakuza bosses, revenge-driven Idols, and enticing cult leaders, Kobayashi’s trip through Tokyo’s underworld is not only a relentless fight for survival, but also a journey of self-discovery, filled with dark humor and unexpected twists. Paired with an unforgettable soundtrack created by legendary musician Andrew Hulshult and a story told through almost 100 pages of unique comic book panels drawn by comic artist Hans Steinbach, we believe that Tokyo Underground Killer will deliver a gaming experience unlike anything else.” |
