Gearbox Publishing sets May 22 launch date for platformer RKGK

Gearbox Publishing announced today that RKGK (pronounced “Rakugaki”), the colorful platformer from Wabisabi Games, is coming to PC via Steam on May 22. The publisher also dropped the first gameplay trailer for the title, showing what the game looks like in action.

RKGK follows the adventures of Valah, a graffiti artist fighting against the corporate control of Cap City by painting the world and fighting off minions. Stylistically, it looks very reminiscent of Jet Set Radio or Hi-Fi Rush. According to Wabisabi, the game offers several speedrunning and exploration features in addition to the primary combat and platforming abilities. Players can also customize Valah’s graffiti with a number of color options.
