Xaladia: Rise Of The Space Pirates X2  is the first self-published release from the developers of Tenchu, Way of the Samurai, Akiba’s Trip, and the Octopath Traveler series.

Players must take on the role of a planetary reconnaissance soldier in a terraformed planet society during a violent and destructive alien space-pirate raid. In short, the soldier who does not cover the screen with a barrage of missiles, lasers, barriers and bots will be destroyed by the enemy! 

Xaladia’s scalable, customizable weapons system sets it apart from other twin-stick shooters.

“Our new self-publishing unit is filled with the brightest young game development minds in Japan designing under the tutelage of Acquire’s award-winning creative team,” said Takuma Endo, President of Acquire Corp. “Xaladia completely modernizes the classic twin-stick shooter and is just the beginning for our newly formed team. We look forward to revealing more projects very soon.”

Xaladia: Rise Of The Space Pirates X2 is coming to Nintendo Switch, PS5 and PC (Steam) in Fall 2023.
