Cyberpunk platformer 'Ghostrunner 2' arrives on October 26th

<p>As if October wasn't already going to be busy enough for new games. Publisher 505 Games has revealed that <a data-i13n="cpos:1;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/ghostrunner-2-will-bring-together-cyberpunk-ninjas-and-motorbikes-this-year-213153418.html">Ghostrunner 2[/url], the sequel to a terrific cyberpunk platformer from 2020, will arrive on October 26th. It will be available on PC (Steam, Epic Games Store and GOG), PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. Pre-orders are open and those who snap up the Brutal Edition will get access 48 hours early.</p><p>The latest entry in the series takes place one year after the events of <a data-i13n="cpos:2;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/tag/ghostrunner/">Ghostrunner[/url]. You'll once again play as Jack, a cyberninja who has to slice and dice his way up through an imposing tower. Ghostrunner is a fast-paced, often-tough game in which you parkour around treacherous environments. Jack dies often, but instant respawns, frequent checkpoints and <a data-i13n="cpos:3;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/ghostrunner-assist-mode-dlc-183350979.html">accessibility options[/url] are helpful.</p><span id="end-legacy-contents"></span><div id="94f8d8ea497946b6b49934042e18856a"><div class="iframely-embed" style="max-width:550px;"><div class="iframely-responsive" style="padding-bottom:56.25%;"> (https://twitter.com/GhostrunnerGame/status/1693640164516511792)</div></div></div><p>The sequel from One More Level seems to build on that foundation with new features such as a motorbike and dialogue choices. This is one of my most anticipated games of the year, so it's a real shame that it might get buried under the onslaught of blockbusters that are arriving in October.</p><p>Ghostrunner 2 will be going right up against Alan Wake 2 (October 27th) — Epic Games and Remedy last week <a data-i13n="cpos:4;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/alan-wake-ii-delayed-by-10-days-will-arrive-on-october-27th-150033546.html">delayed their game by 10 days[/url] to get out of the way of major titles like <a data-i13n="cpos:5;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/play-as-elephant-mario-in-super-mario-bros-wonder-on-october-20th-145814400.html">Super Mario Bros.

Given the abundance of games coming out in the next couple months, perhaps waiting an extra few weeks wouldn’t be a bad idea.</p>This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/cyberpunk-platformer-ghostrunner-2-arrives-on-october-26th-160645966.html?src=rss
