After its triumphant launch on PC, PS4, and Xbox One, the original Ghostrunner took the gaming world by storm, an accomplishment that was further accentuated when it got souped-up for the next-gen experience on PS5 and Xbox X|S. The game’s post-launch journey saw the integration of new modes and snazzy cosmetic DLCs, stirring the anticipation for a successor. Fast forward to May 2021, and 505 Games dropped the news that a sequel to the Ghostrunner saga was underway.
Although the hush was maintained about the sequel for a while, the studio did mention that enthusiasts could anticipate the arrival of Ghostrunner 2 somewhere around the Q4 of 2023. Leaks stealthily trickling through the digital realm were soon overshadowed by 505 Games’ official announcement, firmly stamping the release date as October 26. With this announcement came the unveiling of three tempting editions up for grabs in the pre-order phase: the standalone gem priced at $39.99, the Deluxe Edition valued at $49.99, and the mightiest of them all, the Brutal Edition priced at $69.99, securing early access by 48 hours. That’s not all – pre-ordering this electrifying sequel gifts players a selection of cosmetic treats tailored to each edition.
The tantalizing pre-order trailer offers a glimpse into the dimensions that await in the Ghostrunner sequel. A striking blend of narrative, gameplay, and mechanics unfolds, introducing players to Jack, the cyber ninja protagonist, venturing beyond the confines of Dharma Tower for the first time, into the uncharted wasteland. As promised by 505 Games, this sequel aims to redefine the standards set by its precursor in every conceivable manner. And yes, that includes the adrenaline-fueled motorcycle combat element. Get ready for an onslaught of “new powers, upgradeable abilities, traversal mechanics, an expanded narrative, deeper world-building, and devilish new enemies.”
Fascinatingly, Ghostrunner 2 joins the October extravaganza, aligning itself with an already brimming lineup that boasts the likes of Assassin’s Creed Mirage, Super Mario Bros. Wonder, Spider-Man 2, and Forza Motorsport, to mention a few. Even Alan Wake 2 recently shifted its launch to accommodate the October onslaught. All in all, gamers are in for an exhilarating ride in the months to come.
Ghostrunner 2 leaps into action on October 26, 2023, gracing PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S platforms. Prepare to hack, slash, and transcend the boundaries of reality once more.
