• Epic Levels: Battle through vibrant neon slums, forsaken arenas, towering corporate buildings, and even outer space throughout three thrilling episodes.

• Enhanced for Xbox: Experience 60 FPS smoothness and enhanced visuals on Xbox Series X|S, ensuring an immersive and visceral gaming experience.

Turbo Overkill shines with a stellar voice cast that breathes life into its gritty characters:

• Patricia Summersett, known for her roles in The Legend of Zelda, voices Ripper, the mysterious and lethal bounty hunter.

• Jon St. John, the iconic voice of Duke Nukem, brings his signature flair to SAMM, Johnny’s AI sidekick.

• Gianni Matragrano portrays the sly and merciless Maw.

• DB Cooper lends her voice to The Exec, a shadowy figure within TeraTek’s hierarchy with her own hidden motives.
