Developer The Game Bakers has announced Furi, a "beat 'em up with a difference," for PC and PS4.

Speaking on the PS Blog, Furi creator Emeric Thoa said that his dream game would be "one long boss fight. A boss fight against an opponent similar to you, not a gigantic creature or a demon. A boss fight that felt like a duel— a tense, exhausting, and utterly rewarding duel."



"Furi is a game where you fight for a reason," Thoa continues. "It’s a game that teases you before the fight, while you walk toward your fate, the same way you would be pumped up and stressed before a boxing match. As you do, you’ll start to piece together about why you’re here and what you’re fighting for."

Furi's combat is "ultra fast-paced and responsive," and you'll be shooting and sword fighting against enemies using skills and quick reflexes. There will be a number of bosses (designed by Afro Samurai creator Takashi Okazaki), each with their own unique fighting style that you'll have to figure out.

Furi is set to release on PC and PS4 in 2016.
