Axiom Verge 2 Announced To Be Coming to PS5 & PS4
The sequel to the highly acclaimed metroidvania action adventure title, Axiom Verge 2 has been announced to be coming to PS4 and PS5, adding to already announced Switch and PC. The title will be bringing new characters, new abilities, new enemies, and a new world. As it is a brand new game, you can play it before or after Axiom Verge according to the developer.
In a post on the Playstation Blog the developer revealed that the story of Trace, Elsenova, and Athetos from the first game is actually part of a much larger universe, a sidestory. Axiom Verge 2 will instead follow Indra, a mysterious billionaire/tech genius who ends up on an alternate version of Earth. If you were wondering if this is it for series, the developer teases that while Axiom Verge 2 is connected to the first game, you won’t see the relation until Axiom Verge 3.

- Expansive non-linear exploration of a huge interconnected map.
- Hack any enemy with unique and interesting consequences for each.
- Launch a remote drone with its own separate abilities and behaviors.
