Pixel Titans and Devolver Digital have announced the release date for Strafe, and it’s way closer than we could have expected.
The super violent, retro-inspired shooter will launch on March 28 for PS4, PC and Mac.
Pixel Titans dropped the news with a suitably grotesque trailer. You can check it out in all its cartoony glory below:

Described as a “rogue-like first-person shooter” with procedurally generated environments, Strafe has you playing as a space marine embarking on a dangerous mission at the edge of the galaxy.
Featuring over 30 unique weapons and 20 blood-thirsty enemies, Strafe will require plenty of skill and wit if you hope to reach the end.
