Nocturnal 2 is a fast-paced, 2D Metroidvania where you ignite your sword and explore the dark depths and towering heights of a forgotten island that consumed itself long ago.

Nocturnal 2 is a fast-paced, juggle-based 2D Metroidvania. Ignite your sword and explore the dark depths and towering heights of a forgotten island that consumed itself long ago.

Nocturnal 2 offers hand-drawn visuals and search action gameplay with a twist: as a master of the Enduring Flame technique, a single blow on a fire source sets your sword ablaze, allowing you to push back the darkness and unleash stylish abilities.

Use your Flame wisely, as it can be swiftly extinguished by the many foes trying to keep you in the dark.


“We were pleased with the reception to Nocturnal, but wanted to do more with the series,” said Sunnyside Games co-founder Gabriel Sonderegger. “This time we’re expanding the scope into a full-blown Metroidvania, full of non-linear gameplay, secrets, all new enemies, and an expanded arsenal of fire-based abilities.”

Key Features:

  • Metroidvania Gameplay - Explore a non-linear world - burn your way throughout the city of Ytash to reach the First Brazier
  • Unique Fire System - Keeping your Flame alight is your only way to survive the many dangers ahead. Maintain it at any cost by striking fire sources and protect it to better see the enemy attacks
  • Fiery Abilities - Master your flames to hurl enemies and juggle them into ashes. Mix and match Fire Gems to unlock new spells!
  • Hand-Drawn 2D Animation - Engulf yourself in a fully hand-drawn, 2D animated world
  • A World of SecretsNocturnal 2 is meant to be consumed in a relatively short amount of time, but many surprises are on the menu for those who seek different paths...and true revelations.

Nocturnal 2 is coming to Nintendo Switch and PC (Steam) in 2025.
