Here’s an overview of the game, according to XSEED Games: Return to the world of Avalice to face 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, our three heroes return with their signature abilities honed, making them more formidable than ever. 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 new playable character Neera won’t be far behind, as she can use her powerful Frost Arts to punish enemies.
Like its predecessor, this combat- and speed-driven platforming adventure gives you the flexibility to approach each stage however you prefer. With a carefully tuned balance between speed and exploration, and beautiful 2D graphics featuring refined character sprites, Freedom Planet 2 expands everything that made the original a modern classic to deliver a bigger, better, richer retro experience.
The PC and Linux version of Freedom Planet 2 was released on Steam on September 13, 2022, and now console players will be able to join the action in the exciting world of Avalice. Get ready for an edge-of-your-seat speed platforming adventure on consoles coming soon!
