From XSEED Games and Marvelous is Freedom Planet 2. It releases on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S via the Xbox Store. But you’ll also find it on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch if you so prefer.
Return to the Freedom Planet
Running a $24.99 asking price, Freedom Planet 2 sees you heading off to Avalice, a vibrant world in need of saving. Set some years after the events of the first game, you’ll be left to join the heroines in play as they attempt to rescue this world from Merga the water dragon.
It’s here where our three heroines have refined their signature abilities, making them more formidable than ever before. Take advantage of Lilac’s speed with her Dragon Boost, reach new heights with Carol’s Jump Disc or motorcycle, or take a more measured approach with Milla’s shield. And all-new playable character Neera won’t be left out in the cold, as she can use her powerful Frost Arts to punish foes.
And very much like in the game before, Freedom Planet 2 works as a high-speed platformer adventure, delivering exhilarating momentum-based action. But it also advances the formula with new gameplay systems and enhancements.
New Boss Rush mode
With 24 expertly designed stages, an ambitiously expanded Adventure mode, retro-but-refined 2D visuals, and the addition of the highly requested Boss Rush mode, Freedom Planet 2 is the indie darling grown up to become a true platforming power.
These new challenges will be accessible from the in-game Battlesphere, bringing the total number of challenges and modes available up to 20. ‘Boss Rush’ will feature two divisions with 17 deadly bosses each to challenge Lilac, Carol, Milla, or Neera in a marathon of speed and skill. Players able to best both boss divisions will unlock access to a special in-game VIP room with Easter eggs for dedicated Freedom Planet fans.
