Every animation in the game is handcrafted frame by frame, and environments are modeled after real streets of Vancouver, BC. The breathtaking combination of high resolution pixel art and 3D effects like dynamic lighting, pouring rain, volumetric fog and neon lights bring the sprawling city to life.
Backbone is scheduled to release in 2020 for PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch. The Prologue demo is available for download via Steam.
