Severed Steel – the cool-looking cyberpunk wall-running third-person shooter inspired by Mirror's Edge – comes out this week. When is Severed Steel‘s release date?

Severed Steel Release Date: September 17, 2021

Severed Steelfirst revealed earlier this year, will finally be out in a few days. The game looks cool enough – you get to wallrun, shoot guns, and beat down opponents. Its cyberpunk aesthetic is no longer a novelty at this point, but it still nails the aesthetic. It also follows the usual man versus corporation narrative of Cyberpunk-themed stories. In Severed Steel, you play as Steel, a one-armed killer out to take down the mega-corporation EdenSys. Because you're one-armed, you can't reload any guns you pick up. Ludonarrative consistency!

In any case, Severed Steel feels like how Cyberpunk 2077‘s original combat should have been like. Remove the entire open-world experience, the role-playing, and the driving, and you get Severed Steel – a much more refined experience. The wallrunning will be the game's focus, so we hope that the game will nail this feature. A lot of weight lies on that wallrunning mechanic that we'll be ready to forgive the weird no-reloading restriction.

Severed Steel comes out on PC, PS4, and Xbox One on September 17, 2021. The PS5, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch versions will come out in an unspecified time later this year.
