Freedom Planet 2 launches on consoles with all features from its original PC release including the expansive Adventure Mode, as well as newly added ‘Boss Rush’ mode challenges, delivering a content-rich experience for retro platforming fans old and new.
Return to the world of Avalice to battle an ancient threat in Freedom Planet 2, the long-awaited sequel to the beloved 2014 action-platformer. In the years since the events of the original game, the three returning heroes have refined their signature abilities, making them more formidable than ever before. Take advantage of Lilac’s speed with her Dragon Boost, reach new heights with Carol’s Jump Disc or motorcycle, or take a more measured approach with Milla’s shield. And all-new playable character Neera won’t be left out in the cold, as she can use her powerful Frost Arts to punish foes. Like its predecessor, this fast-paced combat-driven platform adventure gives players the flexibility to take on each stage exactly how they want. With a carefully tuned balance of speed and exploration, and gorgeous 2D visuals featuring refined character sprites, Freedom Planet 2 expands on everything that made the original a modern classic for a bigger, better, and more enriching retro experience.
Freedom Planet 2 Key Features:
-
More Ways to Play: Explore Avalice in Adventure mode, meeting over 100 NPCs along the way. After saving the world, zoom straight into the action in Classic mode or challenge your fiercest foes in the new Boss Rush mode.
-
Heroines to the Rescue: Foe-turned-friend Neera joins the bombastic cast of all-female protagonists, each with their own unique abilities and perspective on a story reminiscent of a Saturday morning cartoon adventure.
-
The Brave and the Bold: Stage too hard? Too easy? Customize the difficulty with the new equippable item system that will let you change the rules of the game—try summoning a helpful shield orb at the start, transform all item boxes into bombs, or any of the numerous other ways to dial the challenge up or down.
-
Fight Smarter, Live Longer: The new Guard button lets you parry enemy attacks—sometimes with added benefits—and the new Revival system lets you risk an extra life for a chance to make a comeback and eke out that tough victory.
