'Teslagrad 2' Comes to Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox and PC In Spring 20223 - Screens & Trailer

Teslagrad 2 is set to be an exploration-based Metroidvania game with magnetic physics and will use the visual style that won the hearts of the players in the original.

The original Teslagrad was a fresh experience in gaming with its magnetic physics based mechanics. Now Rain Games intends to take this experience up a level within the sequel, by sparking new life into the game with additions that will set it apart from the original. 

Based in the unexplored region of Wyrmheim, the game's design is set to be heavily based on the developers' home of Norway. Viking carvings and Nordic runes are at the heart of Wyrmheim, shaping the environment from the foundation up.

Teslagrad 2’s hand-drawn visuals use pastels and muted tones to bring vistas of untamed nature to life, as well as steampunk visions of Old Europe as inspired by Scandinavian culture and folklore. Lumina’s command of Teslamancy makes traversing Teslagrad 2’s somber environments feel satisfying and empowering, allowing players to manipulate realistic physics and unique powers to overcome obstacles and survive surreal dangers.


Teslagrad 2’s trailer joins new hero, Lumina, as she crash-lands into an uncharted region and discovers an ancient tower brimming with technology. Lumina’s journey will see her harness the forgotten art of Teslamancy, wielding electromagnetic abilities to solve perplexing physics-based puzzles, explore winding caves and industrial chambers, and outwit the mysterious enemies and traps awaiting her.

"I have been dreaming about making Teslagrad 2 for years,” said Peter Wingaard Meldahl, project lead at Rain Games. “The story, gameplay and mechanics have been fermenting in my head since we released the original, and it is truly an awesome feeling to see this dream materialize.”

“We are thrilled to be partnering with Rain Games,” said Christina Seelye, CEO at Modus Games. “Teslagrad 2 is being developed by the same talented team that worked on the first game, so we know fans will be just as excited as we are to experience the new entry.”

Key Features:

  • Scandinavia Meets Metroidvania. The world’s first ‘Scandivania’ – a grandiose Steampunk-meets-Norse adventure accompanied by an orchestral soundtrack inspired by Nordic folk tones and electronic tracks.
