Wii U eShop

Ronimo Games has announced Swords & Solders II for the Wii U eShop. The original game hit WiiWare back in 2009, and was later ported to other platforms – including 3DS.

Here’s what we know about Swords & Soldiers II, straight from Ronimo:

A sequel to the 2009 original, Swords & Soldiers II sends Redbeard and his gang of burly Vikings on an all-new adventure, making new friends and facing new enemies. This isn’t just about who can organize the best barbecue party anymore — this time the world also needs some serious saving!

More details about Swords & Soldiers II will be revealed at GDC 2014 and PAX East. A teaser site can be found here.
