Sunset Overdrive (Xbox One)
2027. Sunset City. A contaminated energy drink has transformed
most of the population into a multitude of toxic mutants. For many it’s
the end of the world, but for you it’s a dream come true. Your old
boss? Dead. Your boring job? Gone. Transform the open-world into your
tactical playground by grinding, vaulting and wall-running across the
city while using a devastating, unconventional arsenal. With
hyper-agility, unique weapons, and customizable special abilities,
“Sunset Overdrive” rewrites the rules of traditional shooters and
delivers an explosive, irreverent, stylish, and totally unique
adventure exclusively to Xbox One.
Welcome to the Awesomepocalypse
Sunset Overdrive is set in the fictional American metropolis
Sunset City. The story begins when a resident mega-corporation, Fizzco,
hosts a massive release party for its hot new energy drink: Overcharge
Delirium XT.
But…the beverage was rushed to market. Profit first! Most of
Sunset City is transformed into an array of various mutants, also
called the “OD’d”. The city is quarantined and morphs into a chaotic,
mutant-infested Awesomepocalypse. Soon, you realize a life of playing
videogames, watching action movies, and reading comic books has given
you the tools to become the hero Sunset City desperately needs.
As you progress through the epic campaign, you’ll encounter
numerous plot twists and surprises, and work to unite a diverse group
of survivor factions in your quest to save Sunset City and reveal
Fizzco’s sadistic cover-up scheme.
A vibrant and immersive open world
Sunset Overdrive possesses a soul and style unlike any other
shooter on the market – vibrant, irreverent, thrilling and explosive.
Set in a sprawling, colorful city teeming with crazed enemies
and powerful, unconventional weapons, “Sunset Overdrive” turns the
apocalypse into your own playground of carnage and mutant destruction.
Filled to the brim with Insomniac Games’ trademark humor and satire,
“Sunset Overdrive” is a rebellious game that breaks the rules and flips
modern conventions of post-apocalyptic shooters on their head.
Fast and explosive gameplay
Sunset Overdrive immerses you in a pulse-pounding, frenetic
action experience unlike any other. With a vast arsenal of devastating
weapons and insane parkour moves, you can jump, wall-run, grind,
zipline and vault across the entire environment to build up your Style
Meter and gain a tactical advantage on your enemies.
Each weapon in your arsenal is infused with Insomniac Games’
hallmark creativity, and allows virtually endless opportunities to mix
and match different ones to explosive effect. Surrounded by mutants on
all sides? Lure them away by firing delicious cans of Overcharge
Delirium XT from the Captain Ahab, and then sit back and detonate an
explosive teddy bear with the TNTeddy grenade launcher.
Express yourself!
Sunset Overdrive lets you become whatever hero you can
imagine, giving you virtually endless options to customize your
appearance and play style. Play as male or female, choose your
preferred body type, and rock various hair styles, tattoos, clothing or
accessories that best showcase your personality.
Additionally, by building up your Style Meter, you’ll activate
Amps. These special player abilities allow you to customize your style
of gameplay. Find powerful Epic Amps like the Twist of Fate, which can
set off a nuclear explosion. Or summon weather like Tornados and
Lightning with your Amp slots available in each weapon. Players can
craft new Amps by using amp recipes and ingredients can be found across
the city.
Eight-player cooperative online action
Sunset Overdrive lets you and up to seven other players team
up on Xbox Live in an action-packed online mode called “Chaos Squad.”
Players join together to cause havoc throughout the city, voting on a
series of missions with a risk-reward mechanic. Do they boost the Chaos
level of the city, increasing both the difficulty and the potential
rewards? Or do they take a team power-up, sacrificing some rewards to
make things easier?
Culminating in a cooperative version of Night Defense,
successful players unlock big rewards including in-game cash,
Overcharge, crafting recipes, new weapons and vanity items. The
seamless transition between the campaign and Chaos Squad lets you keep
your newfound winnings across all game modes. Powered by Xbox Live,
Chaos Squad lets you switch from campaign to online multiplayer and
back virtually instantly.
Two-way communication and dynamic updates
Sunset Overdrive will bring a new level of community
interaction. New events and content will be introduced into the game at
regular intervals post-launch, and players will have the opportunity to
determine items they can earn permanently in subsequent updates.3
Sunset TV, a weekly show that streams inside of Sunset City, will also
bring the voice of the developer into the game on a continuous basis,
and player feedback will shape the long-term evolution of Sunset City.
