2015’s ‘Turbo Kid’ Being Adapted to Video Game From Outerminds

Published

Say what you will about video game adaptations of films and TV shows, but there are always those that turn out to be awesome. That’s what we’re hoping for with the announcement that Anouk Whissell, François Simard and Yoann-Karl Whissell’s 2015 post-apocalyptic sci-fi action film Turbo Kid is getting its own adaptation, courtesy of Montreal-based studio Outerminds.

While there’s not much to go on from the announcement (other than some pixel-based goodness in the announcement trailer), the game will be coming in 2022, and will be a Metroidvania style game. And much like the film (which we loved), there looks to be plenty of over-the-top gore in store for us, too.

At the moment, you can check out the official site (though there’s nothing much more than the trailer and a mailing list sign-up), or head on over to the game’s Discord to chat it up with fans.

Turbo Kid stars Munro Chambers, Michael Ironside, Laurence Leboeuf, Edwin Wright, Aaron Jeffery and Romano Orzari. The story for Turbo Kid sees the world in a post-apocalyptic future, where The Kid, an orphaned outcast, meets a mysterious girl. They become friends until Zeus, the sadistic leader of the Wasteland, kidnaps her. The Kid must face his fears, and journey to rid the Wasteland of evil and save the girl.

The full release of V Rising is coming up quick. And just in case the upcoming Castlevania crossover wasn’t enough, Stunlock has released a new gameplay trailer showing off the new Ruins of Mortium endgame zone for V Rising.

Once the heart of the powerful Vampire civilization, the Ruins of Mortium now lies in ruins, teeming with the cult-like remnants of Dracula’s forces. Players will encounter the Draculin, creatures tainted by Dracula’s influence, and face off against his Vampire Generals. The ultimate challenge awaits as players journey into the depths of Mortium to confront Dracula himself. While battling through his forces and disrupting dark rituals intent on reviving the ancient Vampire king, players will uncover ancient powers and prepare for the ultimate showdown against the tyrant himself.

Ruins of Mortium is just one piece of the new content for V Rising when it launches in full. Here’s a rundown of what to expect:

  • Explore a new deadly endgame zone: The Ruins of Mortium
  • Experience dynamic endgame events
  • Fight a new breed of foe and new V Blood bosses
  • New weapons, A new tier of equipment, and magic improvements
  • Improvements to castle building, decor, and storage
  • Native, smoothly implemented gamepad support
