The jungle from the original game returns, sporting gorgeous 3D visuals, enemies attacking from the Z-Axis, and much more.
Microids’ Flashback 2 is on track to release this Fall after a delay and serves as a sequel to the cult classic side-scrolling from Paul Cuisset. While it’s a new story, players will encounter some familiar sights – like Titan’s artificial jungle. Check it out below in a new trailer.
The jungle is familiar but new, thanks to the 2.5D gameplay mechanics and 3D visuals. So while there is some nostalgia for Conrad B. Hart, it also means new threats, as enemies can take cover or run up and attack. It’s an intriguing mix of combat, exploration and platforming with impressive god rays and synth-wave music.
Flashback 2 is out on November 16th digitally and December 5th physically for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and Nintendo Switch. Set after the first game, it sees Conrad battling the Morphs once again as he fights to rescue his friend Ian. The sequel offers five different levels, including New Tokyo and New Washington.
