Two years after announcing a sequel to their cyberpunk slasher Ghostrunner, 505 Games and developer One More Level have taken the wrappings off of Ghostrunner 2. The sequel was announced during the Sony State of Play last night, and is currently in development for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and PC via Steam for a 2023 release.
Set one year after the original critically acclaimed Ghostrunner when cyber ninja protagonist Jack escaped Dharma Tower, Ghostrunner 2 explores the wasteland beyond. Featuring intense fast-paced-push-forward combat and its signature challenging gameplay, the sequel ups the ante from the original by introducing vehicular combat as Jack takes to the wastelands on his new motorcycle.
Along with the new motorcycle comes new powers, upgradeable abilities and traversal mechanics. Ghostrunner 2 will also feature an expanded narrative, deeper world building, and of course, plenty of enemies for you to carve up with your sword. As in the original Ghostrunner, you’ll have to earn your kills, but the payoff will be worth it.
You can snag the original Ghostrunner on the PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. Check out our review of the original game in case you need a refresher.
