About ANTRO
After The Collapse, only 1% of humankind survived and was forced to take refuge underground. Under the old city of Barcelona stands ANTRO, a dirty and dark hole divided into geographical strata. The inhabitants of the lowest levels fight for survival by working forced labour, while the ones in the higher levels rule over the new underground world.

ANTRO’s government has become a totalitarian system, handing power over to a corporation based on technological overproduction and the automation of sectors known as La Cúpula. Freedom of speech has been censored, art and music are forbidden, and a rebellion seems to be coming to life inside the den in which they’re living.

Journey through the most remote places in the underground metropolis of ANTRO, and join the protagonist, Nittch, as you embark on a mission to deliver a package to a mysterious, unknown recipient. While you’re at it, how about overthrowing the totalitarian government of La Cúpula? Play with urban music in a thrilling adventure full of action, puzzles and 2.5D platforming.

Explore ANTRO to the rhythm of hip hop, drill, R&B, and electronic music, and move around the city overcoming obstacles in your way, be it by resolving puzzles or traversing the environment using parkour. But be prepared to run at full speed, as the pursuits in ANTRO are plentiful and both you and the scenario will move in synchrony with the music. But remember: the enemy is always lurking.

ANTRO will be released on SteamPlayStation 5, Xbox Series S|X and Epic Games Srore via digital stores in 2025. Stay up to date with all the latest SelectaPlay and ANTRO news on the official community channels:

About Gatera Studio:
Founded in 2022 in Barcelona, Gatera Studio was born from the desire to represent urban culture in video games with a rebellious and demanding perspective. It began its activity with the development of ANTRO, a 2.5D rhythmic puzzle and platform video game. Currently, it has the collaboration of a multidisciplinary team made up of developers, 2D and 3D designers, illustrators, artists and music producers, writers and marketing professionals.

«“Our story begins in the midst of the 2020’s pandemic when a few crazy people mad about music and platform games got together on Discord and ended up finding a common goal: we wanted to experiment in the world of video games by learning from each other. Little by little, we let our minds flow, and after several brainstorms -influenced by a dystopian context bigger than we expected- we began to develop ANTRO. A rhythmic video game where urban music is the main protagonist. Thus, we embarked on a project that has become an introspective journey to bring out the best of ourselves. This is how Gatera Studio was born. And ANTRO with her”, Norman Benet, CEO of Gatera Studio.», Norman Benet, CEO de Gatera Studio.
