At INDIE Live Expo Winter 2023, PLAYISM and Calappa Games announced Fight Crab 2, the sequel to the original crustacean action game, releases on February 13, 2024 for PC via Steam Early Access. The game will be in development for 12 to 18 months in its Early Access state.
This past August, PLAYISM announced publishing rights for Fight Crab 2 during PLAYISM Game Show. An Early Access winter release was also confirmed, which features Career Mode, Local Matches, Online Matches, and Tutorial Mode.
Fight Crab 2 Fights Its Way to Steam
On February 13, players will have access to all of the aforementioned modes in Fight Crab 2. However, Calappa Games will flesh out these modes over time, and balancing will be adjusted. Additional features and content will be released over time as well, including playable crabs, skins, co-op options, events, and even bosses.
Here’s an overview of the new game, via Steam:
In a land far, far away, the ultimate form of entertainment is Fight Crab—a combat sport where crustaceans fight to see who can flip over the other faster and reign superior.
Crabs are immortal gladiators and the ultimate wrestler. No matter how much damage they take, they will never fall, making them the perfect undying warrior.
In Fight Crab, the countdown only starts when a fighter’s back touches the ground, and they are finally knocked out once the 3 counts are over.
Now it’s time to mount your trusty crab and combine the invincible body of the Crab and the limitless wit of the Human. Use your weapons, spells, and skills to build your very own fighting style, and climb up the ranks to become champion!
Fight Crab 2 builds upon Fight Crab’s control scheme by adding the “Modern” control option, which is closer to a typical third-person action game. Live commentary is also broadcast over every game as an extra way to keep players on the same page. Crabs can also now learn skills that let them perform certain actions automatically. All of these help make Fight Crab 2 easier to learn and play.
