NIGHTMARE OPERATOR Teaser Trailer 

“Some problems can only be solved with a bullet.”

NIGHTMARE OPERATOR is a third-person action horror shooter set in a ruined, 2036 Tokyo overrun by supernatural creatures known as Yokai. Players take on the role of Public Safety Operator Misha, whose investigation into a terrorist attack draws her into a dangerous web of conspiracy, human sacrifice, and betrayal. Combining intense shooter combat with fighting game-inspired mechanics, players must hone their skills to survive, uncover the truth, and keep up with the onslaught of Yokai.

The new teaser trailer reveals that Misha will be voiced by acclaimed Japanese voice actress Miyuki Sawashiro.

It also offers a glimpse of the game's intense battles against the Yokai and its distinctive low-poly art style, which brings its haunting vision of a dystopian 2036 Japan to life.

Alongside the trailer, a new key visual illustrated by Katsu Somehira depicts Misha confronting the formidable threats that await her.

Further updates will be shared through the game's official channels. Follow DDDistortion on social media to stay up to date.
