Posted By | On 09th, Oct. 2011

Gaijin Games and Aksys Games have announced their new project called BIT.TRIP: Runner 2, Future Legend of Rhythm Alien, which will be released on Xbox Live and PSN in 2012. “Runner 2 is going to blast open your mind like a blooming flower and Gaijin Games is going to pollinate it with our fun proboscises,” said Mike Roush via Twitter.

“With its new art style, fantastic music, and gameplay innovations, Runner 2 will make your brain glands SWEAT BLOOD!” Alex Neuse said, also via his Twitter feed.

Here’s some info on the game as given by the devs:

Inspired by the BIT.TRIP series originally released on Nintendo platforms, CommanderVideo makes his debut in an all-new re-imagined downloadable game with a ton of features that we hope even CommanderVideo and CommandgirlVideo can handle: 

  • HD Graphics
  • 10+ new abilities for CommanderVideo (and other playable characters)
  • Achievements/trophies/leaderboards
  • Unlockable costumes
  • Difficulty modes and checkpoints
  • …and LOTS more to be revealed later!
