Aeon Drive’s Retro Arcade Action Should Be On Your Radar

Aeon Drive is an action-platformer that could have been released on SEGA Genesis or Game Boy, but it is releasing on September 30, 2021. Aeon Drive will be released on the following platforms: PS4 (PlayStation 4), PS5 (PlayStation 5), Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox X/S, and PC via Steam. 

Neo Barcelona has a neon-infused city and you are playing as Jackelyne (a young space ranger from another dimension). After struggling to reach home, her spaceship crashes into the middle of a metropolis. Use your time and space-bending abilities to reach success.

Jackelyne has her teleportation dagger, power sword, and ability to control time. With all of the Drive Cores to fix her ship (which she has to find), the cyberpunk city can be saved. Play solo or with up to 4 friends 

Back in 2017, 2Awesome Studio successfully developed Dimension Drive and after that moment, it has helped other studios publish games on a variety of platforms. Aeon Drive is the continuation of Dimension Drive and only the second game 2Awesome Studios has ever developed. David Jimenez (co-founder of 2Awesom Studio) said, “When we funded 2Awesome Studio in 2014 our main goal was to bring to market games with new and addictive mechanics. Thanks to the experience gained with our own games we are now happy to be able to announce our 2Awesome Partners initiative where we can help other great teams and bring even more awesome games to the players.”
