SlashZero Reveals New Character and Trailer

Developer Streetlamp Studio has revealed a new character for their upcoming high action game SlashZero, coming to PlayStation 5, and PC.

To learn more, here is the overview and trailer as provided by the developer. 

Overview:

About SlashZero

SlashZero is a 3D anime-style roguelite action platformer set in a cyberpunk world on the edge of temporal collapse. Players take on the role of a Timehacker — an elite operative tasked with hacking through shattered timelines to root out the source of the Hieros-I corruption. Combat is aerial, fluid, and endlessly customizable. Builds evolve run by run. The story unfolds piece by piece, run by run, death by death.

Key Features

• Aerial, combo-heavy combat with a deep move set built for 3D side-scrolling action
  
  
• Run-based build customization — "Choose Your Power, Hone Your Style"
  
  
• 3D anime-quality visuals in a hand-crafted cyberpunk world
  
  
• Narrative depth inspired by Hades — NPC relationships, lore fragments, and a mystery that unfolds across runs
  
  
• Simultaneous launch: Steam, Epic Games Store, and PlayStation 5
  
  
  
  
  

Choose Your Power. Hone Your Style.

The new trailer makes the creative promise of SlashZero impossible to ignore. Roguelite players have seen fluid combat before — but rarely married to this level of visual ambition and build-crafting depth. Every run in SlashZero is a statement: a different expression of the same frenetic, and high-impact combat system that breaks across timelines. Stack your abilities. Exploit the synergies. Make it your own.

The trailer showcases a combat system built for player expression — aerial strings, skill combos, and a deep upgrade web that rewards both experimentation and mastery. The message is direct: Fall, Evolve, Rise — Time is Infinite. Every death is a data point. Every run, a new power set. The loop is the point.

A New Character Enters the Timeline

The trailer closes with a tease - a character new to the SlashZero universe — who appears to be moving against the Hieros-I corruption from an unexpected angle. No name. No faction. Just a weapon and a shadow. Streetlamp Studio is staying tight-lipped on details ahead of launch, but the implication is clear: the roster of Timehackers is growing.

SlashZero has no release date as of yet, but you can request to gain access to the upcoming playtest on its Steam page.
