Reikon Games‘ cyberpunk shooter Metal Eden launches as a full release today, and the timing matters: the studio’s high-speed FPS hits Steam on September 2, 2025, bringing its aggressive movement and arena combat to a wider audience.
The game is set in 2091 on the ruined world of Moebius, where human consciousness is digitized and stored in machines called Cores. Players step into the role of Aska, a protagonist who can transfer between bodies as she tries to stop a group known as the Engineers. The premise leans into altered-carbon style fiction while keeping action front and center. The setting feels familiar to fans of the developer’s earlier work but pushed into first-person territory.
Combat and movement are the headline features. The design borrows from fast arena shooters and adds parkour and grappling hooks to encourage constant motion, which should appeal to speedrunners and players who prefer momentum-based encounters. The studio’s previous aesthetic is visible throughout, and the game blends that look with a heavier emphasis on guns and vertical arenas.
Comparisons to Doom Eternal are apparent, the combat aims for frenetic exchanges and quick reloads, while Ghostrunner-like parkour elements push encounters into three-dimensional fights. The release is available now on the Steam storefront.
