Get ready for a sonic explosion in the upcoming game, Denshattack! The soundtrack is shaping up to be an absolute banger, featuring a dream team of legendary composers and performers!
Undercoders, the brilliant minds behind Denshattack!, and publisher Fireshine Games have just revealed the incredible lineup of musical talent joining forces with main composer Tee Lopes for this highly anticipated train-themed, Rick-inspired platformer. And let me tell you, it's a star-studded cast that spans multiple genres, from infectious 'drunk-driven grooves' and energetic breakbeat to nostalgic Y2K hip-hop.
But here's where it gets truly exciting: the list of composers reads like a who's who of video game music royalty! We're talking about Tee Lopes, the maestro behind the unforgettable soundtracks of Sonic Mania, TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge, Streets of Rage 4, and Penny’s Big Breakaway. Then there's Shoji Meguro, the genius behind the beloved Persona series and the upcoming Metaphor: ReFantazio. We also have Richard Jacques, whose iconic work on Jet Set Radio series, Headhunter, and Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy has left an indelible mark on gaming. And that's just the tip of the iceberg!
Joining them are equally impressive talents like Ryo Nagamatsu (known for Splatoon and The Legend of Zelda series), 2 Mello (Bomb Rush Cyberfunk), Andrew One (GI Joe: Wrath of Cobra), Sean Bialo (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind), The Noble Demon (Nightmare Kart), Harumi Fujita “OkanP” (Mega Man 3, Final Fight), Kohta Takahashi (Ridge Racer, Tekken 5), and Toni Leys (Go Slimey Go!).
And the performers? Prepare for vocal magic from Takenobu Mitsuyoshi (the voice of Daytona USA and Virtua Fighter), Lotus Juice (Persona, Soul Eater), MIYACHI, Alice Peralta (Splatoon), milkyPRISM, JUNKY58%, THE DO DO DO’s, and Yunosuke. This is a collaboration that promises a truly unique and diverse auditory experience.
For those eager to get a taste of this musical feast, the first 12 tracks from the soundtrack are already available on streaming services!
Now, let's dive into the world of Denshattack! Imagine a colorful Japanese dystopia where you take on the role of a train on a mission to dismantle the oppressive Miraido Corporation. You'll be grinding, flipping, and tricking your way through the game with a crew of outcasts, all while building your skills and your reputation. The gameplay emphasizes stylish, trick-based action, encouraging players to chase high scores and master their moves. Your progression is directly linked to defeating rival gangs and turning enemies into allies, ultimately leading you to confront the fastest train in existence.
And this is the part most people miss: the boss encounters are set to be over-the-top spectacles! We're talking about facing off against everything from mecha magical girls and mechanical worms to moving castles and entire armies of rival Denshattackers. Each battle will truly test your mastery of the game's mechanics, forcing you to apply everything you've learned.
Denshattack! is slated for release in Spring 2026 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.
With such a powerhouse lineup of composers and performers, and a gameplay concept that sounds incredibly fresh, Denshattack! is definitely one to watch.
