Press release:
LOS ANGELES – Sept. 12, 2023.
iam8bit and distribution partner Skybound Games, together with publisher Annapurna Interactive and developer Ben Esposito and Angel Matrix, have launched the retail edition of “Neon White” for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5. The retail edition is now available for purchase at retailers worldwide and neonwhite.iam8bit.com for €39.99 .

The standard retail edition of Neon White features an original 11 x 17 in. foldout poster and artwork by talented character artist Rebecca Ryan.

Neon White is a lightning fast first-person action game about exterminating demons beyond the pearly gates. With a Metacritic score of 90 and nominations for “Best Debut”, “Best Design” and “Innovation Award” at the 2023 Game Developers Choice Awards, players assume the role of Neon White, an assassin handpicked from Hell to compete with other (oddly familiar) demon slayers for a chance to live permanently in Heaven.

Additionally, fans of the fast paced shooter may still scope out the iam8bit Exclusive Edition, which includes five Neon White anime-style “character peeker” stickers, an exclusive cover sheet by character artist Rebecca Ryan, and a region-free cartridge with worldwide compatibility. This edition is available for preorder exclusively at iam8bit.com and will begin shipping in Q4 2023.
