Denshattack, the Tony Hawk-with-trains 3D platformer from Undercoders, is no longer a June game. The studio confirmed a delay from June 17 to July 15, 2026 across all platforms: PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch 2. The reason given was additional polish time.

Key Takeaways

  • New release date: July 15, 2026 on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch 2
  • Original date: June 17, 2026
  • Developer: Undercoders; Publishers: Fireshine Games and Boltray Games
  • Genre: 3D Platformer / Arcade (Tony Hawk's Pro Skater mechanics with trains)
  • Demo: Was available on Steam pre-launch; no longer listed now that the full game has released
  • Reason: Bug fixing and a stable 60 FPS push on Steam Deck and consoles, plus a genuine addition: full Japanese voice acting

What Denshattack is

You play as Emi, a delivery driver who gets pulled into the underground world of Denshattackers: people who perform skateboard-style tricks on trains. Ollie, kickflip, and grind through neon Japanese cities and landscapes, fight rival gangs, and take down the Miraidō corporation. The trick and combo system is built around a timed-input chain rather than a simple button mash.

The visual shorthand is Dreamcast-era Jet Set Radio more than anything recent. The demo that went up ahead of the June 17 date received solid hands-on impressions; the trick system was described as responsive and the style held up.

The one-month delay was framed mostly as a polish pass: bug fixing and a push for a stable 60 FPS on Steam Deck and consoles. It wasn't purely maintenance, though. The same announcement confirmed full Japanese voice acting, with dub and subtitle options players can switch between mid-game, a heavily requested feature that made it in alongside the delay. The platform list itself didn't change.

Why this matters

Denshattack was one of two notable indie launches on June 17, alongside Shift At Midnight, the co-op detective horror from solo developer Bun Muen. The original June 17 date made that a strong week for indie players. With Denshattack moved to July 15, the Steam Next Fest window is Shift At Midnight's alone.

July 15 turned out to be a decent landing spot, and the game launched on schedule that day, still inside the Switch 2 launch window that benefits multi-platform releases aiming for that platform's early adopter audience.
