Ghostrunner 2 looks to build off the original by offering even more frantic gameplay; it seems things can get gruesome in a hurry. If you're looking for a game where you can move at breakneck speed while slicing and dicing with a sword, then Ghostrunner 2 is right up your alley.

There's plenty of wall-running, grappling, and combat to be had; the trailer even shows off a motorcycle, so vehicle gameplay is a given. The main appeal so far is the combat, which the developers are delivering on. With vehicular combat being added into the mix, Ghostrunner 2 will be pushing the boundaries even further.

What platforms will Ghostrunner 2 be on?

Since it was announced at the Sony showcase, a PS5 release has been confirmed. It has also been confirmed for a Xbox Series X|S and PC release via GOG, Epic, and Steam.

It's tough to imagine a game that looks like this running on the Switch at this point, but developers managed to get The Witcher 3 and DOOM running on the platform (even Kingdom Hearts using a cloud version), so there's no point in ruling it out. As of right now, the Switch is not a confirmed platform, but the first one did arrive there.
