Messhof’s Nidhogg 2, a sequel to the action stabber that many loved, will be releasing on PC and PS4 on August 15th. Studio co-founder and creative Mark Essen announced this in a post on the PlayStation Blog while noting that pre-orders would be live on July 18th.
In the same post, Essen talks a bit about the new art-style and how it focuses on “maximalism” to fully exploit the new bone animation programs being used. “Animated faces, sweet outfits and hairstyles, bustling environments – the doors had swung wide and Nidhogg 2’s visual style was born.”
Players can look forward to over 10 levels, a soundtrack featuring the likes of Daedelus and Mux Mool, local and online multiplayer support, single-player competition against the AI (along with “special challenge rounds”) and much more.
