Tamashika is a first-person shooter video game developed by Quicktequila and published by EDGLRD.[2] EDGLRD is an American creative and technology company founded in 2023 by filmmaker Harmony Korine.[3] It was released on April 10, 2026, for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S.[4]
The game was revealed in 2024 as a “fast-paced arcade-style corridor shooter".[5]
Tamashika was again reported on in March 2025, as the first video game release from Harmony Korine's EDGLRD.[6] Korine founded EDGLRD in 2023, using the imprint to release his films Aggro Dr1ft and Baby Invasion.[7] Tamashika was publicly playable for the first time at Day of the Devs on March 16 and the Game Developers Conference later that same month (GDC 2025).[8]
Tamashika features hand-drawn animations. The developer has stated that the game is designed to be played in short sessions due to its daily procedurally generated level mechanics.[9]
Developer Quicktequila was known previously for the first-person shooter games Lovely Planet and Lovely Planet 2: April Skies.[10]
Gameplay
The game features a minimalist combat system in which players are limited to a single firearm and a single melee weapon. The gameplay emphasizes precision and timing.
Each day, players enter a procedurally assembled labyrinth created from roughly 300 pre-designed segments arranged in a fixed daily configuration. The resulting levels feature branching paths and enemy encounters. A global leaderboard tracks performance on the daily labyrinth, allowing players to compete under identical conditions.[11]
