Sovietborgs mentioned in this "30 New Sega Genesis & Mega Drive Games in 2025". It won't be out in 2025 though, I'm afraid :lol: Shadow Gangs Zero (for the MD, Neo Geo and Dreamcast, too) included as well:

⏰ Sovietborgs is coming to Kickstarter Q1 2025.

Besides the regular editions (including blue PAL), we're considering a super limited, KS exclusive one with different artwork, packed with a super limited, KS exclusive PAL reprint of Xenocider (with different artwork too).

Nothing is decided yet but... you know, maybe :)

Not decided yet. We still have 50 cases left after Xenocider.
