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.

Ten years and 2+ million sales later, lightning has struck twice. 

Teslagrad 2 will be in players’ hands for the first time with a PC demo at Steam Next Fest: 2023 (Feb. 6-13).

“I have spent these last years of development dreaming of magnetic powers and steampunk Vikings,” said Peter Wingaard Meldahl, CEO of Rain Games and the lead on the project. “I am very happy with Teslagrad 2 as a sequel and am excited for players to get their hands on it this coming month through the demo!”
