The Isle of Nex, where the events of Legend of Grimrock 2 will take place, is a secluded island faraway from civilization, where the protagonist group of prisoners end up against their will. The party must solve puzzles utilizing new types of mechanics, face new deadlier, more intelligent monsters and explore dark woods, misty swamps, underground tunnels and ancient ruins in order to unlock the mysteries of the island. In Legend of Grimrock 2, the spellcasting and potion crafting systems have been greatly improved to make the game more accessible and fun to play. The skill system has been completely redesigned and replaced with a new perk-buy system that allows for more flexible character skill development. The game also features new spells and over a hundred new items as well as a new playable race, the Ratling and a new character class.

"We're thrilled that we finally get to show all of the Legend of Grimrock fans that the long wait for the sequel has been worth it." says Antti Tiihonen, Almost Human, about the new trailer that showcases the secluded Isle of Nex where a group of four prisoners is shipwrecked.

"The new game not only looks gorgeous but it also brings improvements on all the key aspects of the first game" continues Tiihonen, one of the co-founders of the studio. The game contains more than 20 hours of pure blooded dungeon crawling gameplay with grid-based movement and thousands of squares filled with hidden switches, pressure plates, secret doors, riddles, deadly traps and more. Powers of perception and logic are more important for the player than sheer force is, since Legend of Grimrock 2 puts a heavy emphasis on exploration, survival and challenging puzzles.

Pre-orders are now available directly on the official website for a special 15% discount off the regular price of $23.99, which grants access to both a Steam key as well as a standalone installer when the game is released.
