Ion Fury

Ion Fury is built on EDuke32, a fork of the Build engine which supports modern operating systems while also implementing a broader range of features. The source code of Ion Fury is part of the EDuke32 source port.

Ion Fury (Formerly known as “Ion Maiden”, but name had to be changed due to trademark issues.) is a 2019 cyberpunk first-person shooter video game developed by Voidpoint and published by 3D Realms. It is a prequel to the 2016 video game Bombshell. Ion Fury runs on a modified version of Ken Silverman's Build engine and is the first original commercial game to utilize the engine in 20 years, the previous being World War II GI.

In Ion Fury, the player assumes the role of Shelly “Bombshell” Harrison, a bomb disposal expert aligned to the Global Defense Force. Dr. Jadus Heskel, a transhumanist cult leader, unleashes an army of cybernetically-enhanced soldiers on the futuristic dystopian city of Neo D.C., which Shelly is tasked with fighting through.

An expansion to the game was announced in 2020, titled Ion Fury: Aftershock, and been delayed until 2022. In September 16, 2022, 3D Realms announced the sequel titled Phantom Fury, to be released in 2023
