Announcement trailer.

Looks like a new dev team, claiming veterans of Witcher, Dying Light, This War of Mine, and Shadow Warrior among the staff.

Steam page

Some details from the page:

Sophisticated & Brutal Combat: RUINER features lightning fast combat that requires a delicate balance of overwhelming, brute force, and elegant strikes to overcome all manner of savage opponents. Blast through crowds or slow down time and hand select your points of attack before unleashing a storm of violence on the battlefield.

Cyberpunk Inspired Arsenal: Equip all manner of high-tech firearms and melee weapons to ruin all that oppose you. Employ state of the art gadgets like energy shield, dash augmentations, and the switch gun stun or hack the opposition onto your side of the fight.

Story-Driven Action: Violent confrontation is a means to an end and trust is a devalued currency in Rengkok as you navigate a senseless world with the help of a mysterious hacker friend.

Release date of 2016, doesn't look like any other platforms but PC announced so far.

Nice, had heard of this game last year, but the devs only had concept art and some info. The gameplay screenshots looks awesome

looks pretty cool but the footage just makes me wish it were a deus ex style game

cyberpunk settings are always more interesting when you have more player verbs than just shooting

Ummm yes please to this. I hope this see's the light of day on the PS4. Its just wow!

Edit: it says coming to 'Consoles' on their site, I'll take that as a win
Last year, the site had listed PS4, so I think that'll likely still release on that-
 
Looking good so far.
Gotta admit that most games coming out touting "cyberpunk" have been really failing in living up to that genre.

Keep an eye out for The Last Night. An open-world cyberpunk cinematic platformer

Yes! Now this looks like what I really want out of a cyberpunk game.

EDIT: Aesthetically speaking. That is.
I actually don't think the top-down view is a great look for cyberpunk games. I want dense cities with a hazy skyline. Plus something more vertical.
 
Man that looks great - first part has me hoping there will be some exploration/RPG ish gameplay to mix up the shooting but either way, sign me up.

I'm not a huge fan of the genre (isometric shooter that is, not cyberpunk!), but the aesthetics in the trailer look great.

Which ones are you thinking of in particular? I can't really think of anything recent that was cyberpunk except for the Shadowrun RPGs, and I hope you're not talking about those because they are fantastic :p
