Aaero2: Black Razor Edition announced for PS5

by

Wired Productions and developer Mad Fellows have unveiled “Aaero2: Black Razor Edition” for PlayStation 5, scheduled to release in 2025. Additionally, two new music packs inspired by the Black Razor Records theme will be added to the current versions of “Aaero2” on Xbox Series and PC at the same time.

In a statement, Wired Productions’ managing director and co-founder Leo Zullo expressed their consistent attraction towards games with depth, and they found kindred spirits in Mad Fellows who grasp the impact of music and feelings in video games. According to Zullo, Wired is investing more in what they cherish: games that defy conventions, provoke thought, and foster dedicated fanbases. He stated that Aaero2 is merely the start of this exciting venture.

Mad Fellows’ managing director, Paul Norris, commented, “We’ve long held the conviction that music has the ability to revolutionize the way gamers interact with their games. Our collaboration with Wired Productions seems like returning home, and this is merely the start. We’re starting off with a game we’ve always admired, Aaero, but our partnership is all about exploring where music-based gaming can go in the future.

Here is an overview of the game, via Wired Productions:
