Dear Villagers and Domesticated Ant Games have announced that Gravity Circuit 2 is in development for Nintendo Switch.
This upcoming sequel is set in the same universe as the original action-packed 2D platformer and takes place years after its events. In a rebuilt Kernel City, you will be confronted with a new Ark full of the Hunter Army’s invading forces.
Kai returns as a playable character, and the developer has introduced a new one in Cable, with the chance to swap between them before you start a new mission. While Kai retains his classic closed-combat fighting style, Cable offers “a more long-ranged approach, with projectiles, multiple jumps that can damage enemies and powers that allow him to turn defeated foes into scrap that can be used as ammunition.”
Each character will also have access to additional tools to improve their skills and abilities throughout the game, with new Booster Chips and Burst Techniques shaping their move sets and stats. Toppling bosses will also reward you with upgrades that unlock new abilities.
The publisher has outlined the game’s key features, which include:
- Choose Your Circuit: Gravity Circuit 2 is an action-packed 2D platformer, with the option to select your fighting style. Kai brings along his familiar close-quarters combat: Fierce punches, hookshot-based grapples, and plenty of speed. Cable, on the other hand, offers a more a long-ranged approach: Pepper your enemies from a distance, chain multiple jumps to stay airborne, and use his powers to turn defeated foes into scrap that you can use as ammunition. Both characters share the same campaign, so every stage plays out differently depending on who you bring in. Switch between the characters at HQ, and tackle missions with your preferred style.
- Build Your Loadout: Earn new abilities from bosses by equipping Circuit Shards, stack Booster Chips to amplify your capabilities, and slot up to four Burst Techniques for devastating finishers! Build and define a style that suits you. Secrets are everywhere: health boosters, burst boosters, civilians to rescue, and even crystal fragments to expand your possibilities! Blast right through action-packed stages, or act the part of a hero, and uncover everything. The choice is yours.
- High-speed action platforming with a banging soundtrack: From a water processing plant, to an artificial forest, to a weather control tower, and even a ghastly theatre – there are many varied locales to blast through on your journey to defeat the Hunter Army! Each stage features its own unique mechanics, gimmicks and bosses, keeping the adrenaline high, all while a banging soundtrack by Dominic Ninmark blasts in the background. No two stages will feel the same.
Gravity Circuit 2 will be released digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch worldwide in 2027.
