With a third game scheduled for 2027, the Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX series has grown to be about as important as the numbered games themselves. Starring protagonist Copen and going all-in on the series’ famously fast-paced action gameplay, players have ripped through the original game released in 2019 and its sequel in 2022. Perhaps […]
