Actually, the indie sequel Oxenfree 2: Lost Signals should have been available long ago, but the release was postponed to the new year last fall. Now there is finally a new date.
Since the indie sequel Oxenfree 2: Lost Signals was postponed to the new year last fall, it has long been unclear when the title will be released. Since then there has been a great radio silence – until yesterday. Because as part of the Nintendo Indie World Showcase, the makers have finally announced a new, concrete release date.
In the course of yesterday’s broadcast, the developer studio Night School, which belongs to Netflix, has now made a concrete statement and confirmed that the sequel to the supernatural thriller Oxenfree should be available from July 12, 2023. According to official information, the publication will then take place for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and PC/Mac (via Steam); there is no longer any mention of an Xbox variant in the associated press release.
The sequel takes place five years after the events of the first part, which was celebrated for its special storytelling and art style. The sequel follows the story of Riley Poverly, an environmental scientist who returns to her hometown of Camena to investigate supernatural radio frequencies that are interfering with electrical equipment. She soon discovers that nearby Edwards Island has long been plagued by ghostly apparitions and becomes entangled in a terrifying supernatural mystery.
The indie sequel can be pre-ordered now via Nintendo eShop and PlayStation Store; the PlayStation version costs 23.99 dollars, the switch version – like the PC version – costs 19.99 dollars. In addition, the title will be available as a mobile game on Netflix for all subscribers to the streaming service without ads, additional fees or in-app purchases.
As part of the Nintendo Indie Showcase, the release date of the indie sequel Oxenfree 2 was announced on July 12, 2023.
