During the Indie World Showcase today, publisher Devolver Digital announced Gunbrella, a new 'noir-punk' action adventure title from developer Doinksoft, who created the charming metroidvania Gato Roboto. We've only got a vague '2023' release window for this one, so it's likely going to be a while before it's in our hands.

Here's some info from the game's Steam page:

Gunbrella is a noir-punk action-adventure set in a world dependent on a rapidly diminishing natural resource. Players take the role of a gruff woodsman on a quest for revenge, armed with the mysterious Gunbrella: a firearm that doubles as an umbrella. His investigation becomes entangled with the inner workings of ghouls and gangsters, cops and cutlists, and the fallout of corporate exploitation.
