The open beta offers several playable characters, each with their own advantages: the agile and newbie-friendly Steve Miller, the well-balanced Biaggi, the incredibly swift series newcomer Sophie de Lys, and the now-confirmed, tanklike returning star Gary Scott.
Novices and seasoned competitors looking to warm up their throwing arms can find help from Gary in the above fresh trailer outlining the mechanics and deeper strategies fueling Windjammers 2’s layered action.
Athletes can face off in online ranked play across courts spanning a sandy beach, roaring stadium, rowdy ring, or a towering rooftop complete with shot-deflecting bumpers.
