A view of Midnight Fight Express.

A solo developer is building Midnight Fight Express

Join independent journalists and industry decision-makers at GamesBeat NEXT, returning to San Francisco November 2–3. The event brings together 500 executives, founders, investors and tech leaders shaping the $200 billion interactive economy for candid discussions on gaming, entertainment, technology and AI, plus executive networking and opportunities to build partnerships and close major deals.

Midnight Fight Express is a cool-looking fighting game with fast-paced brawling viewed from above.

The game got its debut at the Opening Night Live event with Geoff Keighley at Gamescom last year, and it showed off more gameplay at today’s show. And the amazing thing about it is that it’s being built by one developer, a father in Poland named Jacob Dzwinel.

You have to fight your way across a city with brutal fighting that mixes old-school brawlers and fast-paced motion-captured combat. You’ll fight on foot or in vehicles. It’s coming in the summer of 2022. The title reminds me of the classic Midnight Express film, but it isn’t related to that.
