Today’s PlayStation Showcase gave us a glimpse of Ghostrunner 2, a sequel to the fast-paced, first-person action game from 2020. It appears the player will be able to use a motorbike, which might help spice up the gameplay from the original. However, the game seems like it will still deliver similar action for fans of the original game. Hopefully, Ghostrunner 2 can improve on the original in every way.
The game promises intense boss fights and engaging new mechanics. Among these new mechanics is a dialogue system that will allow players to involve themselves more in the story. In addition, Ghostrunner 2 also promises more non-linearity and replayability. Overall, it’s looking like quite the ambitious sequel. Whether or not it can achieve this ambition has yet to be seen, but there is reason to be excited.
As of now, there is no specific release date, but players can expect to pick up Ghostrunner 2 later in 2023. The game will be available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Be sure to check out our other coverage of the PlayStation Showcase!
