CAR-SHIFTING ROGUELIKE ‘CHAMPION SHIFT’ KICKS IT INTO HIGH GEAR WITH THEIR FULL RELEASE ON STEAM
Fight, shift, and survive as figures from international legends and face the Dominion in this action packed title.
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico – June 21st, 2024 – SRG Studios is excited to announce that their online co-op, bullet heaven roguelike, Champion Shift, will be launching into full release today on Steam, with the PlayStation port on track to release later this year. This high-octane title has seen a number of exciting updates since it first released in early access back in April, including a new champion, new abilities, and new stages.
It’s Payback Time
Awaken as the fabled King Arthur Pendragon, a captured celestial champion locked in a lab for experimentation. Begin your adventure and take a stand against the Dominion, the oppressive organization that’s taken over the mortal realm and looks to increase their might through stolen powers and ancient relics. Fight back, free your fellow legends, and settle into your new-found car-shifting ability as you battle past the hoards of enemies sent to stop you and bring you back under Dominion control. Band together with other famed fighters like Athena, Sun Wu Kong, Gilgamesh and others as you work your way across different maps, completing missions, increasing your power, and felling stage bosses before finally taking on the final boss and putting a stop to the Dominion.
Transforming Powers
Experience what Champion Shift has to offer the roguelike genre with its captivating characters, unique playstyle expressions, and powerful abilities to outfit your loadout. Feel the thrill of pedal to the metal as you swap between car and champion, upgrading your kit for both as you take on the Dominion army. Chill to the bone your enemies with the Kiss of Poliʻahu, wield the crashing waves of Ryujin’s Aura, and muster up the might of a Minotaur, while installing machine guns, rocket launchers, and dual blades to your car’s frame. Over 20 different abilities and seven unique champions are waiting to be discovered in your fight against domination, or fight alongside up to three additional players in online co-op and take on the Dominion together.
