Truxton news & patch notes

It’s finally here! One of gaming’s most iconic franchises has returned bigger, better and more Extreme than ever before!

Dodge countless shots, unleash your spaceship's destructive power, and annihilate wave after wave of hostile aliens in the explosive vertical-scrolling shoot 'em up that is Truxton Extreme!

Truxton is one of Toaplan's great classics, which says a lot considering their catalog also includes shoot 'em up juggernauts like Batsugun, Zero Wing, and many others.

Brought to you by Tatsujin, founded by Toaplan executive Masahiro Yuge, this new edition to a legendary franchise is an evolution of Truxton. It’s packed with great features, new graphics, new sounds, even a brand new digital comic!

Why not to try it for yourself? Truxton Extreme has a demo available throughout Next Fest. check it out here:

This demo version includes a limited set of features to give you a good feel for Truxton Extreme ahead of its full release. (It also lets you face off against an iconic boss returning from the original game...)

So, what are you waiting for? Go play Truxton Extreme!
