SPINE, a new female-led cinematic action game that is said to define the gun-fu game genre, delivering hard-hitting gameplay in a futuristic cyberpunk world with parkour chases, boss fights against ninjas, and more, is launching for PC and consoles in late 2024, developer Nekki has announced. The new game, which supports NVIDIA DLSS 3 and ray tracing, features a soundtrack by Le Castle Vania—the composer behind some of the most acclaimed music in the John Wick series, including “LED Spirals” and “The Red Circle.”
Le Castle Vania’s new single from SPINE is now available to stream on:
Key features of the game include:
- “Movie-Like Experience – SPINE puts players inside the action with a dynamic combat camera that makes every fight feel like a movie, without ever stealing control from players.”
- “Innovative Combat – A thrilling fusion of cinematic gunplay and beat ’em up. Dive into the chaos of SPINE’s combat, where every move is a dance between gunfire and raw, close-quarter bullet mayhem. It’s not just a game; it’s an artistic canvas for your own style of destruction.”
- “Unrivaled Atmosphere – Dive into an action-packed narrative set against the backdrop of a captivating cyberpunk world. Explore the contrast between the gleaming, utopian facades and the gritty, decaying alleyways, as each location becomes a stage for adrenaline-fueled gunfights.”
- “Gripping Narrative – Embark on a gritty journey into the near-future with Redline, a rebellious street artist, and her AI companion, Spine — a combat implant with a mind of its own. Together, they stand against an oppressive AI regime, and every fight they have sends ripples through the streets they navigate, changing the lives of the people they meet.”

Nekki on its new game:
SPINE is a single-player, story-rich action game where the player takes on the role of rebellious street artist Redline, accompanied by her sentient combat implant, Spine. Players join them as they challenge the autocratic AI regime of Tensor Corporation while learning to trust each other.
SPINE features camerawork and combat choreography by action movie stunt specialists and is powered by Unreal Engine 5 and Nekki’s original animation engine, Cascadeur, making players the star of their own action movie where no two fights are the same.
