Developer Undercoders and publisher Fireshine Games have unveiled a new skateboarding-styled game with a unique twist. Dubbed Denshattack!, the title has players control a gravity-defying train as they grind along a dystopian Japan that has been taken over by the shady Miraidō megacorporation. It was announced with a trailer, which you can check out below.
Typical gameplay in Denshattack! will revolve around players making use of their extreme bus’s capabilities to pull off skateboarding moves like ollies, kickflips and grinds along the rails that make up the levels. Along the way, they will also have to take on a bizarre line-up of reimagined Japanese trains as they slowly but surely earn the respect of a network of underground gangs and rebels. There are also some epic boss fights to take care of, including gigantic magical girl mechas and a Dune-styled giant worm made up of mechanical parts.
Levels in Denshattack! will take players on a journey across Japan, from major cities like Osaka and Tokyo that have been sealed under giant domes, to the beautiful snowfields of Hokkaido.
The trailer, which weighs in at over 3 minutes in length, shows off plenty of the wacky hijinks that players will get to engage in. Among other things, players will get to grind their trains against ferris wheels which can then be ripped off their foundations to then be ridden down a mountain.
The Brazil-based studio Undercoders has spoken about how it was inspired to make a game based on Japan’s trains going all the way back to its developers’ first trips to the country in the late 1990s. During their travels, the developers also fell in love with the local culture, the architecture, the folklore, and the landscapes, among other things.
Denshattack! is being developed for PC, PS5,and Xbox Series X/S, and will be out in Spring 2026.
