Admittedly, Alan Wake II is taking up most of the attention today, but don’t count out 505 Games and One More Level’s Ghostrunner 2. Revealed back in May, the first-person cyberpunk hack and slasher is available now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam, the Epic Games Store and GOG, complete with a new launch trailer to get you in the mood.
The launch trailer shows off the mononymously-named protagonist Jack sporting the slick parkour and acrobatics we’ve been expecting, along with healthy amounts of plasma and severed limbs in glorious slow motion. We’re also treated to Jack taking off in his new motorcycle, set against the backdrop of synthwave and dark electronic beats from the returning Daniel Deluxe, Arkadiusz Rejkowski, Dan Terminus, We Are Magonia, GosT and more.
Set one year after the events of the original Ghostrunner, the high-octane sequel follows cyber ninja Jack as he fights a violent AI cult. Wield a razor-sharp katana once more, and slice through the relentless onslaught of frenzied cultists, cybernetic warlords, and terrifying AI entities both in and, for the first time, outside of Dharma Tower.
Engage in vehicular combat, weaving through obstacles and knocking down enemies on a high-speed motorcycle. On foot, Jack embraces his iconic parkour and Gap Jammer move set from the original game, improved and expanded upon for quick traversal across varying surfaces in both neon-lit urban environments and a sand-blasted wasteland. Stylishly slide, dash, and evade deadly attacks from a range of new adversaries.
Ghostrunner 2 ups the ante with new abilities and a revamped progression system. Explore new combat options and find the right approach to dodge, parry, and destroy foes capable of killing Jack with one strike. Defeat bosses with increased freedom, learning how to overcome with their devious new tricks.
