Sunnyside Games :

Lausanne, Switzerland, July 17th, 2024 - Indie developer Sunnyside Games has unveiled Nocturnal 2, the upcoming sequel to its acclaimed side-scrolling, flame-wielding action platformer Nocturnal (currently sitting on 81/100 on Metacritic and is Strongly Recommended on OpenCritic). Coming to Nintendo Switch and PC in 2025, Nocturnal 2 is a fast-paced, juggle-based 2D Metroidvania. Ignite your sword and explore the dark depths and towering heights of a forgotten island that consumed itself long ago.

Nocturnal 2 offers hand-drawn visuals and search action gameplay with a twist: as a master of the Enduring Flame technique, a single blow on a fire source sets your sword ablaze, allowing you to push back the darkness and unleash stylish abilities. Use your Flame wisely, as it can be swiftly extinguished by the many foes trying to keep you in the dark.
“We were pleased with the reception to Nocturnal, but wanted to do more with the series,” said Sunnyside Games co-founder Gabriel Sonderegger. “This time we’re expanding the scope into a full-blown Metroidvania, full of non-linear gameplay, secrets, all new enemies, and an expanded arsenal of fire-based abilities.”

Nocturnal 2 features:

 

A World of Secrets - Nocturnal 2 is meant to be consumed in a relatively short amount of time, but many surprises are on the menu for those who seek different paths...and true revelations.
