Mega City Force is coming to consoles three years after its initial PC release

Three years after its PC release, Mega City Force is now taking the leap to consoles. The retro beat'em up with a synthwave vibe, released in 2023 and having remained relatively confined to its niche of genre fans, will finally reach a much wider audience. Ravenage Games confirmed the port without mincing words: "a game made by retro dudes for retro dudes".

Specifically, the game will land on PS4/PS5, Xbox One/Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch. The exact date and time are the subject of a dedicated article, as is the detail of the platforms concerned. What we know for now: the core of the game remains unchanged, with its incorruptible agents to choose from to clean up the streets of a city ravaged by crime, playable solo or in co-op.

The PC community that has been following the title since its 2023 release had been waiting for this port for a while, with no official announcement until now. The real test will come at release: it remains to be seen whether the gameplay feel, often finicky in ports of fast-paced action games, holds up on a controller and on hardware more constrained than PC, particularly on Switch.
