Plaion signs Evil Raptor in support of robot game Akimbot

It’s always good to see an indie dev team get a helping hand, and Evil Raptor is getting just that. Plaion has stepped in to assist Evil Raptor in their upcoming release Akimbot, a stellar looking robot shooter. It has a bit of Ratchet and Clank to it, and that’s right up my alley. Check out the trailer above, with more details below.

Larkspur, Calif. (May 8, 2024) – PLAION, a leading global publisher and developer of video games, is proud to announce today a partnership with indie developer Evil Raptor to launch their upcoming, robot-blasting 3D action-adventure platformer Akimbot.

Evil Raptor is a French independent studio with a core team of eight who aim to revive the PlayStation era of 3D platform games. Evil Raptor was founded in 2020 following the successful release of its inaugural game Pumpkin Jack and has been passionately developing Akimbot over the last four years. PLAION will publish Evil Raptor’s brand-new action-adventure, Akimbot.

In Akimbot, you will play as Exe, an outlaw robot with an unexpected sidekick named Shipset, as you blast your way through armies of robots, control spaceships, and forge your own path on a mission to save the universe from impending doom. Set in a sci-fi world where only robots exist, travel the galaxy and experience non-stop robot mayhem, explosive action, and of course an arsenal of big guns. This journey begins the way many great stories do – with a prison break.

Akimbot features:

• A rich, vibrant, unpredictable universe
• Epic action and diverse enemies
• Unique, action-adventure platformer gameplay
• A huge arsenal of weapons to master and blow your enemies away with

Hold on to your circuits and get ready for an action-packed adventure as you join Exe and Shipset on this riveting journey across the universe, coming to Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam later this year.

Starting today, players can wishlist Akimbot across digital storefronts on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Steam.
