CYGNI is a twin-stick vertical scrolling Shooter hybrid with a cinematic flare. Embracing the essence of classical arcade Shoot'Em Ups, CYGNI introduces exceptional visuals to the genre.
"CYGNI is a genitive form of Cygnus used when naming stars. Cygnus is a northern constellation lying on the plane of the Milky Way." In the game, CYGNI is a planet colonised by humans who are benefiting from an ancient technology left over in ruins by an unknown alien civilisation, scavenging it for tech and power.
CYGNI was released on the 6th of August 2024.
CYGNI will be available on PC (Steam & Epic Games), PS5 and XBox series X/S (It has also been optimised for Steam Deck). We will consider other platforms in the future.
CYGNI was developed in Unreal Engine 4.
KeelWorks Ltd is a Scotland based indie company with a small but talented team.
The initial demo which was announced in 2020 was entirely developed by 2 of the founders (Nareg Kalenderian and Helen Saouma) in their spare time (from its Art to its Dev). However, as a result of the recent publishing deal with KONAMI, the team have expanded (to initially 6 and in the later stages to 11) to focus full time on developing the game.
KONAMI Digital Entertainment B.V. are publishing CYGNI on Steam, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
The music is also being done in-house by an award-winning composer and orchestrator Vatche Kalenderian.
