Axiom Verge 2 is one of those fun little side-scrollers that has some really impressive features in design and function. And now that it is finally out, we can’t wait to play it later today. For now, the game is available on Switch and will be available on last-gen PlayStation consoles later today as well as the EGS but don’t worry, there are plans to bring it into next-gen (now current-gen) platforms as well. PS5 is already confirmed and additional consoles are being teased with no further details yet.
The long-awaited Axiom Verge 2 is available now on #NintendoSwitch!
Empowered by the same microscopic machines that are gradually consuming her humanity, Indra must navigate a dangerous world that blurs the virtual and the real. #IndieWorld

Hiding in a cargo lift in Antarctica is what appears to be an ancient, alternate Earth, complete with mountains, lakes, deserts, and the ruins of a civilization. But you get the feeling that something else is lurking just past the fringes of reality, waiting to pull you in.
You may have played Axiom Verge, or heard it referenced as a benchmark for indie “metroidvania” adventures. Axiom Verge 2 is part of the same story as Axiom Verge 1 but is a completely new game: new characters, new powers, new enemies, and a new world. You can play it before or after the original.
Meet Indra, the mysterious billionaire behind the worldwide Globe 3 conglomerate. What is this world she’s found? Who are the voices that seem to be calling to her?
