Axiom Verge 2

When Axiom Verge 2 was announced last December, it was planned for a Fall 2020 launch. Unfortunately, that will no longer be happening. Creator Thomas Happ confirmed in a blog post today that the project has shifted to the first half of 2021.

Happ indicated that Axiom Verge 2 is a bigger game to develop than its predecessor. The new title will feature more sophisticated enemies, a tool like the Address Disruptor from the original “that gives the player more control over the outcome”, and a “more complex” visual style.

Here’s the full developer update:

If Found...

If Found…, “a narrative-driven game about going home, coming out, and erasing everything” is coming to Switch. Annapurna Interactive and Dreamfeel shared the news today.

For the Switch release, there will be enhanced accessibility options, a touch screen option in handheld mode, never before seen artwork from illustrator Liadh Young, extended narrative sequences, a bonus chapter, and multiple interactive epilogues to discover the futures of every unique character. Dreamfeel also partnered with Irish and Sierra Leonean musician Loah and composer 2mello to produce a new song for the game, with lyrics from If Found… director and co-writer Llaura McGee.
