Axiom Edge 2It is a follow-up to one of the best modern Metroid Castlevania games we have ever seen, and today it launched a surprise on multiple platforms.
At today’s Nintendo’s Independent World Showcase, Nintendo announced that Axiom Verge 2 will be launched later today-but it will also be available on PS4 and PC through the Epic Games Store.
The original Axiom Verge came out in 2015. Although we know that the follow-up will come at some point, it is safe to say that few people are looking forward to it today.
“Axiom Verge 2 and Axiom Verge 1 belong to the same story, but it is a brand new game: new characters, new forces, new enemies, and new worlds. You can play it before or after the original version,” the game’s introduction says.
Check out the launch trailer below.

Thomas Happ Games’ Axiom Verge 2 was originally announced in the Nindies live broadcast in 2019 and was postponed to 2021 in October last year. According to a blog post by the developer, “many factors” caused the release schedule to be postponed to this year, so we are very happy that we can finally see the game running now.
Axiom Verge 2 will be launched for Nintendo Switch, Playstation 4 and Epic Game Store later today, and-according to the news on the game website-a dedicated PS5 version of the game will also be available at some point.
