For those who watched the Triple-I Initiative Showcase, you undoubtedly saw mention of an upcoming 3D Platforming title called RKGK and then scratched your heads. While the title looks impressive and the concept seems cool, there was zero gameplay, which was frustrating.
RKGK is being developed by Wabisabi Games, a gaming development team based in Mexico. This is the team’s first game. RKGK will be released during Summer 2024 for the PC (Steam), priced at $19.99, and published by Gearbox Publishing. The game’s art style is fascinating and has a Japanese graffiti feel. This makes sense; the main character has a spray can in her hands, so some tagging will be involved.
Thankfully, the Steam page for the game has a bit more information about the upcoming title and a few screenshots. You should also probably wishlist the game while you’re there.
The city is your canvas. Join the rebellious Valah and her RKGK crew to free the neo-brutalist Cap City from evil B Corp’s control. Collect secret treasures, find hidden paths, and light up the cold and grey concrete with your graffiti.
How fast can you go? Chain together jumps, dashes, glides, and grinds. Reach the perfect flow state in Defacer mode – where Valah’s world becomes her animated wonderland. Master routes and speed through levels as you take down Mr. Buff’s cronies with style.
Break through enemies, overload your senses, and take back control. Use Valah’s paint abilities for stylish traversal, chaotic mayhem, and leaving your vibrant mark on every corner of Cap City.
Channel your power through art and resist Mr. Buff’s mind-controlling technology. Restore freedom to the citizens of Cap City and test your abilities against the B Corp minions. Valah’s creativity and imagination is the spark to guide you through a dark, controlling world.
Color is power. Graffiti is resistance. Use art as the ultimate expression to speak for the underdog and light up the world. With plenty of paint and cosmetic customization options, Valah can reclaim her city and look great doing it.
