Developer VBlank Entertainment wrapped up its 2015 by unveiling the upcoming sequel to Retro City Rampage, called Shakedown Hawaii. As it looks to wrap up this follow-up to the 8-bit Grand Theft Auto-style romp, a new teaser trailer was released to give players an idea of what's coming to the 3DS.

In terms of story and gameplay details, this new teaser doesn't add much to the original. It further establishes the atmosphere of going from a bustling metropolitan city to a tourist resort town, while retaining the top-down shooting and drive-by chaos of the original Retro City Rampage. VBlank Entertainment is not revealing the full story details at this time, but notes that there will be "much more to it than the driving and shooting."

While the trailer below shows what Shakedown Hawaii will look like on Nintendo 3DS, the game is also set to hit PC, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation Vita.
