Prague, Czech Republic – October 7, 2025 - The wait is finally over.

Delighting PC players and getting 94% very positive user review score on Steam after its October 2023 release, Aftershock brings Shelly "Bombshell" Harrison's high-octane adventure to living rooms worldwide with console-optimized controls and enhanced gamepad integration.


High-Speed Action Continues
Aftershock picks up moments after defeating Dr. Jadus Heskel, as Shelly's celebration is interrupted by explosions and her nemesis escaping in a monstrous flying machine. Armed with her signature Loverboy revolver and commandeering a heavily weaponized Roadripper hoverbike, Shelly embarks on her most dangerous mission through brand-new zones filled with enhanced enemies and devastating weapons.


Console-Optimized Features
The console version features enhanced controller support for precise aiming, redesigned UI for an optimal console presentation and streamlined navigation tailored for gamepad input. The Nintendo Switch version delivers smooth performance at 720p@60fps in handheld mode and 1080p@60fps when docked to the TV. The revolutionary high-speed vehicle combat has been specifically optimized for console controllers, featuring refined handling mechanics and enhanced visual feedback for smooth gameplay across all platforms.


Substantial Content Package
Aftershock delivers thirteen new levels across five distinct zones, plus entirely new enemy types and weapons including the devastating Cluster Shot launcher. The expansion also introduces Arrange Mode – a complete remix of the original Ion Fury campaign with mirrored levels, modified enemy placements, and integrated Aftershock content throughout.


Build Engine Excellence
Rendered in the legendary Build Engine that powered Duke Nukem 3D and Shadow Warrior, Aftershock maintains authentic '90s aesthetics while incorporating advanced lighting effects and seamless vehicle integration. Console optimization ensures stable performance across all platforms, with Nintendo Switch featuring additional battery life optimizations.

Ion Fury: Aftershock is currently available on Steam and will be launching on PlayStation® 4, Xbox One (PlayStation® 5 and Xbox Series X|S via backward compatibility), and Nintendo Switch™ for $14.99 / €14.99 on October 16th, 2025.
