People of Mubel, meet Ballard! They’re our final playable character reveal from GUN JAM.
A Metalhead crossed with a raver? Don’t be alarmed by Ballard’s style. After all, it’s The Speaker you should be worried about.
When you meet Ballard in-game, they’ll be the one to help you blast through the city streets of Mubel, shooting along to the rebellious riffs of our twisted Metal tracks. Expect some outrageous vocals and headbanging beats!
From left to right. Aero, Ballard and Tap. GUN JAM’s three heroes.
As you’ve now learned, you’ll meet these three characters one by one through our Story mode. Alternatively, you'll choose to play as one of them in Arcade mode. Each of these characters embodies their own style and genre of music in different areas of the city. Trap takes on TrapHop in the Arena, Aero electrifies the underground layers through EDM and Ballard roars through the city streets of Mubel with Metal.
And now, a little bit of lore
Welcome to the vibrant city of ‘Mubel’ where the omnipresent ‘Beat’ means everything and music is used as a means of control. While city-dwellers dance to The Speaker’s ruling tune, you must rebel and break out of its hypnotic flow by force.
The Speaker, broadcasting his message to the people of Mubel
We know some of you have been keen to learn more about GUN JAM’s lore. We don’t want to spoil the story for you or reveal too much about our three heroes. But we can tell you a little more about the city culture itself.
‘The Beat’ isn’t necessarily bad. It’s simply an ingrained part of Mubel’s culture that no one questions. But do the people of Mubel simply accept The Speaker’s Beat to fit in out of naivety? Or are these cultists brainwashed and just lost to the rhythm? In Mubel, everyone can find their own beat, rather than dance to the one, state-sanctioned Beat. You just have to find the rhythm…
Until the next beat…
