Cyberpunk Action Returns
Ghostrunner 2, developed by One More Level and published by 505 Games, launched in October 2023 as the sequel to the popular 2020 title, Ghostrunner (which was also previously offered for free on the Epic Games Store). The sequel builds upon the original’s fast-paced, first-person slasher gameplay with enhanced mechanics and a gripping narrative.

A new threat emerges in the form of a violent AI cult outside Dharma Tower, humanity’s last refuge, and Jack must confront them to shape the future.
