Guacamelee 2 Officially Enters the Steam Ring 'Soon'

It looks like Guacamelee 2 won't stay exclusive to PlayStation 4 for very long, as Drinkbox Studios has announced that the lucha-centric sequel will also come to PC.

One of the more exciting news pieces to come out of the latter half of 2017 was Drinkbox Studios bringing back Guacamelee for round numero dos. But in the months after the Paris Games Week announcement, it appeared that it would be a timed exclusive for PlayStation 4. While that looks to still be the case, PC players (and our own Chris Jarrard) can now rest easy, because Guacamelee 2 has officially been announced for Steam.

For those unfamiliar with this sequel, heroic luchador Juan Aguacate returns seven years after the events of the original game. A new evil has risen, threatening Mexico and all of time and space. Juan will be joined by his friends, as users can jump in with four-player co-op. For an idea of how the Metroidvania adventure is shaping up, check out our PlayStation Experience hands-on preview.

Much like the PS4 version of the game, Guacamelee 2 on PC has been given the release date of Soon™. Anyone looking for a chance to try this game out sooner than that can venture on over to PAX East, where it will be part of the Indie Megabooth. Meanwhile, those looking to catch up on the original Guacamelee or any of Drinkbox's other games can also check out the full catalog on Steam, where all Drinkbox games are being offered for 90 percent off, as part of the studio's 10th birthday.

But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
