Ahead of Antonblast's launch later this year on 12th November 2024, developer Summitsphere has released the game's opening cutscene, and it's pretty great.
It showcases Satan (naturally) who, after conversing with a magical mirror, discovers that there is a 'red guy' who happens to 'shine more crimson' than he. This, of course, is our protagonist, Dynamite Anton, so poor ol' Satan decides to take what Anton loves the most, coax him into his lair, and 'siphon his delightfully rosy tone'.
It sounds, uh, completely bonkers. We love it though, and it definitely represents the outrageous platforming gameplay quite well. In case you're curious, you can sample the game right now with a demo frome the Switch eShop, which features two sizable levels from the main game.
In the meantime, let's remind ourselves of the key features:
- BLAST through a unique powertrip of a platformer!
- INDULGE in an urban graffiti-inspired art style!
- DEMOLISH massive destructible environments!
- BATTLE brutal, earthshaking bosses!
- EXPERIMENT with a totally dynamic playstyle; rush through for the best time
or explore at your own pace!
Are you looking forward to checking out Antonblast later this year? What do you make of this opening cutscene? Let us know your thoughts with a comment.

First I was like this seems like a fun little game.
Then I tried the demo and now I'm like I ABSOLUTELY NEED THIS IN MY LIFE
Nice intro, so looking forward to the full release of Antonblast!
This. Is. AMAZING. I've always wanted a TRUE spiritual successor to Wario Land 4 on Switch.
@mlt Yeah, the demo's superb, right? Fast, fluid, challenging. It's great.
Oh lord. Gianni doesn't miss.
I love the whole 90's cartoon villain asthethic lol
@TechaNinja Going all in with the vibe of AoSTH Robotnik.
Demo was a💥 to play, looking forward to this.
@TechaNinja it's like Red Guy, HIM and Long John Robotnik's ultimate combined form.
Looks great. Good Satan voice.
so weird to have the demo and actual release so far apart.
@mlt
it's the perfect mix of Wario Land and Earthworm Jim.
god Antonblast just OOZES personality from every possible angle holy s***
Really want to give it a go later down the line, though I'd rather play through a couple Wario Land games beforehand so that I can get a better picture of the kind of platformer Antonblast is. Still looks fantastic though and its definitely going to be one for the future!
@Coolmusic a blast, you say? perhaps an ANTONblast? I'll see myself out
