Stealth Inc. 2, which launched exclusively on Wii U in October last year, will now be coming over to pretty much every other platform on the market that can support it as well- this includes PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, Xbox One, and PCs running Windows.

This should not come as a shock or surprise to anybody- when the game was originally announced roughly a year ago, the developers did pretty much imply that the Wii U exclusivity would be timed. That said, it is good now that even more people will get to play the game, as Stealth Inc.2 was almost every bit the game that the original title had been.

Stealth Inc. 2 will be launching on PlayStation, Xbox, and Windows PC in April; it is already available on Wii U via the Nintendo eShop right now if you are interested in checking it out. The original Stealth Inc., meanwhile, can be found on PC, PS3, and PS Vita.

Curve Studios’ Stealth Inc 2, a follow-up to its successful indie stealth game, will be heading to the Nintendo Wii U on October 23rd courtesy of the Nintendo eShop. This release date is applicable for both the US and UK so there won’t be any waiting in between.

Stealth Inc 2 will be a 2D stealth platfomer like its predecessor but will only be available on the Wii U versus the original which was first a free PC title and eventually released for PS3, PS Vita and PS4. It’s also available on iOS and Android mobile devices. This time around, the game will be exclusive to Nintendo’s console since there isn’t a whole of competition, especially when it comes to bigger AAA titles, for Curve Studios to worry about.

Curve Studios surprised us all when it announced that Stealth Inc. 2 would be arriving exclusively for the Wii U. After all, the developer saw success on the PS Vita and PS3, and even released the game recently for PS4.

Speaking to VG247, Curve’s Rob Clarke explained the reason behind the exclusivity. “We’ve always loved working with Nintendo. They gave us the opportunity to work on our first original IP as Curve, and while that was published by Nintendo rather than us – self-publishing wasn’t really done on consoles back then – it was a really great experience and we’ve been looking at a game we could work with Nintendo on ever since.

“The obvious expected result from the non-Nintendo press is shock, especially as so many people see us a PlayStation publisher after releasing 4 PlayStation games last year. We’ve always been platform agnostic though, and always interested in finding new fans and new audiences. Of course those audiences all smaller on the Wii-U, but there’s also a great deal less competition.”

The main reason for not releasing Stealth Inc. 2 on PlayStation platforms is simply because the market is becoming extremely crowded. “The same week we announced Stealth Inc 2, Sony announced 12 new big exciting indie titles coming to PlayStation 4, and all of those are going to be competing for that same audience.

“We’re not looking at other formats right now. The game is quite heavily designed around the hardware, which is one of the perks of working on an exclusive title, so for us it’s about making the best Wii-U game we possibly can.”

Make sense? We’ll find out just how well Stealth Inc. 2 fits the Wii U when it releases.

Curve Digital has revealed that Stealth Inc. 2 will be releasing on exclusively for the Wii U. It will feature 80 new levels, co-op gameplay using the Wii U Gamepad and open world mechanics. That means you’ll be free to explore different facilities and chambers within PTi Industries.

Creator and game director Jonathan Biddle stated that,“We’ve relished revisiting the world of Stealth Inc. It’s given us the chance to really fine tune the Stealth Inc experience, while also hugely expanding it with the addition of a larger explorable game world, and a more involved narrative.”

The original Stealth Inc. is available now for the PlayStation 4. As the Ultimate Edition, it feature the DLC expansions The Lost Clones and The Teleporter Chambers.
