Teslagrad 2 and Teslagrad Remastered stealth launch on PC and console

Like a surprise? You’re getting it as Teslagrad 2 launches to the world, alongside that of Teslagrad Remastered. 

Available today on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch and PC is Teslagrad 2 and Teslagrad Remastered; the sequel and the remastered edition of the 2016 original. 

Coming about via Rain Games and Modus Games, these are the follow ups to the previously acclaimed physics-based Teslagrad; a game that we reviewed way back in 2016 when we labelled it a ‘must buy’. 

It doesn’t take a genius to work out that Teslagrad Remastered takes everything that was great about that original game and updates it for newer consoles. That means you’ll get the same electrifying experience that we had way back when, but now with a new shine, crispy visuals, challenge levels, remastered audio and quality of life improvements. 

In all, the key Remastered features include:

• • Updated graphics! – Marvel at the hand-drawn backgrounds in even more stunning clarity, with atmospheric lighting and crisper animations updated for the current generation of gaming.
• • Challenge levels! – Put your skills to the test with 10 additional challenge levels that push your electromagnetic powers to their limits.
• • Quality of life improvements! – Designed to ensure that the game retains its original charm and challenge but will remove occasional frustrations found in the original.
• • Remastered Audio! – Experience an eclectic mix of classical orchestra, with a touch of Russian inspiration sprinkled with a myriad of metal bits and bobs and electrical stuff.

Teslagrad Remastered will set you back £8.39 from the Xbox Store, playable on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S with full new-gen optimisation. 

And then we have Teslagrad 2 – a shocking sequel. This one is priced at £16.74 and again improves things – better visuals, a bigger world, new puzzle solving tools. If you liked the first game, there’s a big chance you’ll get on brilliantly with Teslagrad 2 as the key features of that sit as…

• • Scandinavia Meets Metroidvania. The world’s first ‘Scandivania’ – a grandiose Steampunk-meets-Norse adventure accompanied by an orchestral soundtrack inspired by Nordic folk tones and electronic tracks.
• • Explore an Abundant World. Discover rich and beautiful 2D hand-painted environments set in a wild and ravaged world full of hidden collectibles, secrets, and lore.
• • Magnetic Gameplay. Test your logic skills with perplexing puzzles based on real electromagnetic physics and enjoy a new twist with curved magnets!
• • Master Fluid Motion. Perfect new and returning skills and use them to move quickly and skilfully through the world, combining Lumina’s abilities such as blinking, sliding, and magnetizing to build extra momentum.
• • Epic Boss Battles. Use your skills to overcome boss fights which unlock new abilities and additional areas to explore.
• • Visual Storytelling. Teslagrad 2 unfolds through what you see, with no text, voiceover or loading screens to interrupt gameplay.

Again, the Xbox Store will sort you out with a download of Teslagrad 2. 

You should be finding both games on other formats too – PlayStation, Switch and PC. You can grab both games in a combined Teslagrad Power Pack Edition for £25.13 too.
