We’ve been hearing universally glorious things about Duranik and Redspotgames’ upcoming shooter for what feels like an eternity now. When they missed their prospective release date last year, the latest addition to the Dreamcast family sadly drifted into the periphery.
Well it seems that celebrations are in order, as the developers have announced that Sturmwind is indeed still coming, with a new release date of April 24th. With a total of 7 worlds made up of 16 stages and 20 boss fights, this thing sounds like no small adventure for your beloved box o’ dreams. I don’t know why you wouldn’t have your Dreamcast as a permanent fixture in your living room, but if you don’t, it’s time to drag Rocky out of retirement.
You can read the silly faux-military press release after the jump. Tell me you’re as excited as I am.
