To celebrate the announcement, the developer has also released a brand-new trailer, which you can check out above.
Guacamelee! 2 is an action platformer that draws inspiration from traditional Mexican culture and folklore, and is the sequel to 2013’s Guacamelee!. For those that don’t know: Guacamelee! is widely considered one of critical indie darlings of last generation.
Guacamelee! 2 currently is without a release date. Further, it is unclear whether or not it will arrive on PC and PS4 on the same day. The first game notably launched first on PS3, and then came to PC a few months later. The first game also released on Nintendo and Xbox platforms later as well, leaving the door open for the sequel to do the same.
