2019’s Wargroove was a well-received turn-based strategy game, and the developers are now back for more. Chucklefish has revealed Wargroove 2, a sequel to the strategy game that will introduce new characters and locations for players to explore. The game is currently planned to release on PC and Nintendo Switch.

Chucklefish provided the first look at Wargroove 2 in a trailer shared on its YouTube channel. This introduces us to a coastal setting, as well as a new commander featured in the game. In a blog post on the Wargroove website, the developers share more details.

Wargroove 2 features a new campaign, with new recruits and commanders to lead them. While there is a lot of new content to explore narratively, the developer also reveals some changes to gameplay. This includes a new tiered Groove system. There will also be a new game mode, Conquest, which is essentially a roguelike mode designed to put players’ skills to the test. Lastly, Chucklefish teases an original soundtrack from Dale North.
