Guacamelee! 2 picks up seven years after the original story. Guacamelee! 2 brings former hero Juan Aguacate out of retirement to stop a powerful and ruthless luchador who has emerged as the ruler of a parallel timeline. Juan must once again don his special luchador mask and tights, and fight his way through the worlds of the living and the dead (plus time and space) in an attempt to save his family... and the entire Mexiverse!

Punch your way through a whole new Metroid-vania style world and try to save the Mexiverse!

“We asked our inner skeletons what we should do for Guac 2,” said Augusto Quijano, Concept Lead at Drinkbox Studios. “We couldn't decide whether to add Better Moves, More Interesting Platforming, Timeline Travel, Chicken Powers, or New Puns, so we added it all!”

Starting today, Guacamelee! 2 is available for pre-order on the PlayStation Store, and for wishlisting on Steam.

Guacamelee! 2 will include a bevy of new features, including:

• Eagle Boost – A hooking mechanic that allows Juan to attach and fly through “boost points” in the environment.
• Powerful New Moves – New abilities such as Eagle Boost, Rocket Kick, and Pollo Shot add to Juan’s awesome arsenal of moves, for use in both combat and platforming.
• 4-Player Local Co-op – Drop-in / drop-out 4-player local co-op through the entire story lets your best amigos join in anytime!
• New Environmental Mechanics – Throughout the course of the game players will encounter many new mechanics to complement both platforming and combat.
• Visual Enhancements – A redesigned lighting system to take more advantage of the power of the PS4. Guacamelee! 2’s visuals are a big step above those of the original game on PS4, and are enhanced further to include 4K and HDR support when played on the PS4 Pro.
• Vibrant, Deadly World – An epic, colorful adventure, inspired by Mexican folklore, that takes players through living and dead worlds and across rifts in space-time! Beautiful environments and 2D animation, more gorgeous than ever thanks to a fancy new rendering engine.  
• Lots to See – Dense gameplay areas featuring tons of secrets and optional content. Bigger maps, twice as many enemy types as the first game, and a roster of eccentric new bosses.
• Brand New Upgrade System – Discover “trainers” from around the world, defeat their challenges, and upgrade your movement, combat, traversal, and more.
• Caliente Original Soundtrack – Soundtrack featuring new music from Peter Chapman and Rom Di Prisco - composers of the original Guacamelee! OST. Additional new tracks from special guests Mariachi Entertainment System!

Guacamelee! 2 will be coming to PS4 and PC on August 21, for $19.99 / €19.99.
