Axiom Verge 2 delayed to the first half of 2021, developer update
Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
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:
