One More Level Reveals Ghostrunner II, Aiming For 2023 Release

One More Level on the map was Ghostrunner. Following the success of the first game, it was soon revealed that the team was acquired by its publisher 505 Games. As part of the new addition to its parent company, a sequel for Ghostrunner was now part of the plan.

Since then, One More Level continued to support the original game. In that, a native update for Xbox Series X|S & PlayStation 5 added next-gen enhancements including 120hz support. Additionally, add-on Project_Hel was also released offering a story outside of the protagonist of the main game.

Now at the Wednesday PlayStation Showcase, One More Level & 505 Games officially revealed Ghostrunner II. You can watch the announcement trailer in the video below:

“Ghostrunner 2 explores the world of Ghostrunner, with the player visiting more places, not only Dharma Tower. The game’s story takes place one year after the events of the first game. The people of Dharma Tower are rebuilding, commerce begins to flow, and there is hope for the future. However, with the Keymaster dead, a power vacuum develops with deadlier enemies looking to conquer Dharma tower,” community manager Stephen Takowsky writes.

“Ghostrunner 2 offers everything you loved about the original, but with even more exciting features. While the first game certainly had some challenging bosses, the sequel takes it to the next level. Get ready to face off against some of the toughest opponents you’ve ever encountered in a video game. The new dialog system allows diving deeper into the lore and plot of GR2. Jack can interact with NPCs that are his friends from the Climbers faction. Plus, there is now a central HQ base of operations where Jack can take a break from missions.

“With enhanced gameplay mechanics, more levels to explore, and epic boss fights, Ghostrunner 2 promises to be an exciting and thrilling adventure. With the new skills and powerful Ultimate abilities, players can be more creative during encounters and make the most demanding encounters more accessible. For instance, players can now defend against projectiles and attacks using the block feature, with each attack having its own cost in stamina. Additionally, there are new skills, such as Shadow, which allows Jack to trick enemies by leaving his copy on the casting spot and entering cloak mode.”
