Renowned publisher Apogee Entertainment — best known for Duke Nukem, Prey, and Max Payne — in partnership with developer Trigger Happy Interactive, proudly releases Turbo Overkill: Ultimate Edition as a complete surprise, and it’s out today.
Today’s surprise launch of Turbo Overkill: Ultimate Edition serves as both a return to the FPS genre for Apogee Entertainment and a celebration of the game’s legacy. The Ultimate Edition also comes with a massive (and FREE) quality-of-life update for all players across platforms, bringing a host of player-requested improvements. These include: highly requested controller configurations for those playing on consoles or PC, gyro controller support for the PlayStation 5, and additional adaptive trigger support for the PlayStation 5’s DualSense wireless controller. The launch trailer for consoles can be seen below, in case fans have missed it.
The Turbo Overkill: Ultimate Edition also includes a 140-page art book with a soundtrack sampler included. To coincide with the launch (and celebrations), the digital comic that dives into the lore and story beats surrounding Overkill, Turbo Overkill: Original Syn, is included with the Ultimate Edition free of charge. The comic serves as a prequel that dives deeper into Johnny Turbo’s backstory and provides additional context around each enemy’s motives.
Turbo Overkill: Ultimate Edition Key Features:
- Half Human, Half Robot and 100% High Octane Action – Play as Johnny Turbo, a human augmented with hidden arm rockets and a chainsaw that extends from his lower leg, allowing him to slide-slice enemies wide open and deliver carnage to enemies.
 - ULTIMATE – Turbo Overkill: Ultimate Edition lives up to its namesake, as it launches on consoles with all post-release PC patches, including the Enhanced Visuals update.
 - Trouble in Paradise – Johnny returns to his hometown, Paradise, only to find out that it’s descended into chaos. The world’s strongest AI overlord has taken control and it’s up to Turbo to finish the fight.
 - Parkour Included –  Combine Johnny’s dashes, double-jumps, and his wall-running skills to soar through the air and pretend the floor is lava. Turbo can evade enemy fire and counter foes easier than ever.
 - A Turbo Experience – Players can race through two dozen stages packed with secrets, bonus arena stages, and combat-based puzzles. Game-changing collectibles are scattered throughout to unlock punishing modifiers like “triple-monster-speed” and “insta-kill.”
