<p>Inti Creates has revealed more info on its upcoming entry in the Gunvolt series at Bitsummit 2019. <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/switch-eshop/gunvolt_chronicles_luminous_avenger_ix"><strong>Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX</strong></a> was revealed at the Kyoto-based indie game festival last year and it is now confirmed to be launching on 26th September.</p>
<p>The first game in the series since <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/3ds-eshop/azure_striker_gunvolt_2">Azure Striker Gunvolt 2</a></strong> in 2016, Copen is the mysterious protagonist this time around and he’s searching for a MacGuffin known as the ‘Butterfly Effect’. He has support in the form of his robot companion Lola, a ‘reliable partner’ with the ability to scan enemy weapons and create ‘mock’ versions of them for Copen to use. Handy!</p>
<p>The trailer above gives a good idea of the action and characters you’ll encounter on your journey, and the pixel art in these shots appears to uphold the series’ retro aesthetic:</p>

<p>It’ll cost $14.99 when it launches on 26th September, which sounds like ages away, but summer has a habit of <em>flying by</em>, so we look forward to trying this one out soon on Switch.</p>
