First Sunset Overdrive Gameplay Trailer, Day One Edition Announced

Microsoft and Insomniac Games released the first official gameplay trailer for Sunset Overdrive today, which offers a new look at the world, story and gameplay players can expect to experience upon the game’s release.

The video, clocking in at four-minutes, reveals a game that looks and potentially feels like a cross between Sucker Punch’s inFAMOUS and Capcom’s Dead Rising, with the crazy, ridiculous weapons Insomniac is well-known for creating.

As if the new gameplay video wasn’t enough, Microsoft also announced a Day One Edition of Sunset Overdrive that comes with three exclusive items, including a new costume, gun and melee weapon:

• “Nothin’ but the Hits” gun: An overcharged version of the High Fidelity gun that launches limited edition, priceless, multi-colored vinyls that do increased damage.
• “It’s Me! Fizzie!” outfit: Fizzie is more popular than you because he has a great marketing budget. So, why not dress up as him and get in on some of that fame?
• “Hardcore! Hammer”: You ponder buying the Day One Edition of Sunset Overdrive. A spot check reveals that if you do, you can equip a mighty hammer made from a bat and spiked dumb-bells. You buy the Day One Edition of Sunset Overdrive.

Sunset Overdrive has yet to receive a release date, but the Xbox One exclusive is still set to release later this year.
