Huntdown: Overtime is an upcoming roguelite run and gun prequel to the 2021 cyberpunk shooter, headed to early access in Q2 2026 with deep cybernetic upgrades and intense action.
Fans of classic arcade action and stylish cyberpunk aesthetics have a new title to add to their watchlists. Easy Trigger Games has announced Huntdown: Overtime, a prequel to the well-received 2021 side-scrolling shooter Huntdown. The upcoming release trades pure arcade progression for a roguelite structure, dropping players into neon-soaked ganglands with a heavy emphasis on replayability and fast-paced gunplay. According to the development team, the goal is to capture the relentless momentum of classic action cinema while keeping modern progression loops engaging for players who live for the grind.
In this prequel, players step into the boots of cybernetically enhanced bounty hunter John Sawyer. Every run challenges you to take out as many targets as possible before meeting your demise and being dragged back to a cyber-doc's operating table. As you progress, you unlock various cybernetic upgrades that actively reshape your playstyle, gradually turning your character from a regular human into a full-scale chrome killing machine. With multiple paths winding through dangerous gang territories and decaying wastelands, the game aims to keep each run feeling distinct.
The arsenal available to players is appropriately massive, ranging from close-quarters brawling and standard automatic rifles to flamethrowers, miniguns, and futuristic plasma weapons. As reported by Rock Paper Shotgun, the title is scheduled to launch into early access in the second quarter of 2026. For players who love high-stakes runs, build crafting, and testing their reflexes against relentless waves of enemies, this early access drop will be one to watch. You can head over to Steam to wishlist the game and track its road to release.
