Freedom Planet, a platform game released in 2014, finally has a release date for the much anticipated sequel. The first game was a surprise hit and was lofted to cult status among 2D platform fans who yearned for a sequel. Developer, Galaxy Trail, originally announced Freedom Planet 2 about five years ago and the development has been put back several times. The team have announced a firm date of release of 13 September 2022 and it will coming to PC as well as consoles.
Review - Freedom Planet 2 evokes so much of what makes a great platformer, but feels a little bloated in parts.
One of the best sequels out there, period.
WTMG's Oliver Shellding: "When it all comes together – the wonderfully scored soundtrack, the intuitive level design, the beautifully rendered characters – there’s more joy in Freedom Planet 2 than not, and I have to believe fans of the original will pick this up without a second thought. For those of you coming in fresh, don’t expect Sonic, because that’s a different franchise. Brace for an actual storyline, balanced combat and exploration, and some positively charged adventure that keeps you locked in. After a bit of time in the shadows, Lilac, Carol, Milla and now Neera Li step into the spotlight all on their own, and it’s a banger title to carry around on the Switch or play on the big screen. "
