Toxic Crusaders Gets New Trailer, Launches Q3 2025 on PS5

Retroware has unveiled a new trailer for the side-scrolling beat-’em-up game Toxic Crusaders. Check it out below.

See the description:

When the evil Dr. Killemoff attacks, only one team of horribly deformed creatures with superhuman size and strength stands between him and his plans for global pollution: the Toxic Crusaders, Earth’s last, greatest, and ugliest hope for survival. The hottest heroes of 1991 return for a radical radioactive beatdown for a new era, featuring awesome action, crushing combos, and more toxic waste than you can imagine.

Choose from seven playable characters including Toxie, No-Zone, Junkyard, Major Disaster, and Headbanger (who technically would count as two characters if they could agree on anything) – plus, for the first time, play as Toxie’s musically “talented” girlfriend Yvonne, and the mother of all mothers, Mrs. Junko, Toxie’s mom.

Battle through seven revolting levels rendered in colorful pixel art while defending Tromaville from hordes of Radiation Rangers, mutant punks, and zombie chickens. The odds may be stacked against you, but with awesome powers, a winning personality, and up to four local players by your side, the days of the Smogulan Empire are numbered.

Toxic Crusaders will launch in Q3 2025 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC (Steam).
