Freedom Planet 2 will have a free sample version made available for the general public at the end of January in 2017. The new sample version will give long time followers and fans of sprite-based side-scrollers a small taste of what the independent studio has planned for one of the most highly anticipated sequels to an indie game this generation.
The original Freedom Planet released on Steam in 2014, then came to Wii U one year later. Its sequel will launch on both platforms in mid-2017. The franchise takes its influences from the Sega Genesis era of Sonic games, including its gameplay and aesthetics.
Check out the Trailer:
“Freedom Planet 2’s Lilac shows a different art-style than the original game. Lilac is taller, grown-up and has better visuals than her shorter counterpart in the first game. More than just visual changes, Lilac seems to have new air attacks and the Wing Glider air dash along with her old moves. It’s possible that she’ll receive more attacks and abilities as this is still a work in progress. We might even find out new moves that weren’t stressed out in the trailer in the upcoming Freedom Planet 2 demo.
As seen in the reveal trailer, Lilac, Carol, and Milla are about to face Merga to stop her from using the Bakunawa. Merga plans to use it to take revenge on the three Kingdoms along with the help of some of the new characters.”
