In the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.playstation.com\/2021\/06\/10\/axiom-verge-2-lands-on-earth-this-summer-coming-to-playstation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">blog post<\/a>, Thomas doesn\u2019t have a release date to share, only stating it\u2019s arriving \u201clater this summer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Whenever Axiom Verge 2 does release, Happ states that it will arrive on PS4 on the same day as Switch and PC. However, that guarantee may not extend to the PS5 version.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am going to try my best to get the PS5 version ready for launch, but that might take a bit longer since I really want to take advantage of that in-game hints system!\u201d says Happ.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/e3-2021\/2021\/06\/12\/axiom-verge-2-confirmed-for-playstation-consoles\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here to watch embedded media<\/a><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s worth noting that Happ is the sole developer on Axiom Verge 2, as he was with its predecessor. The sequel serves as both a follow-up and prequel but stars a new protagonist, Indra, a billionaire tech genus. While the first game was set on an alien planet, Axiom Verge 2 uses an alternate version of Earth as a backdrop. That doesn\u2019t mean it won\u2019t be just as weird as the original. Players have access to a brand new arsenal of alien weaponry not to mention a new mystery to uncover.<\/p>\n<p>Gameplay retains its Super Metroid-inspired DNA, with labyrinthian level design and, of course, its 16-bit aesthetic. Happ shared additional gameplay details addressing the game\u2019s difficulty. First, instead of choosing \u201cEasy, Normal, Hard\u201d at the start, players can instead adjust how much damage they deal to enemies, and in turn, how hard enemies can hit them. Furthermore, every boss in the game is optional. You\u2019ll be rewarded for beating them, but none of the bosses serve as hard obstacles to the critical path.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Axiom Verge 2 sounds substantially bigger than the first game but\u00a0Happ has\u00a0repeatedly stated that it\u2019s merely another slice of a grander mythos. He even name drops Axiom Verge 3 in the blog post, saying fans won&#8217;t know how the first two games relate until the third act.\u00a0For a deeper dive into how Axiom Verge 2 plays,\u00a0check out this April <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/2021\/04\/02\/exclusive-axiom-verge-2-preview-two-worlds-converge\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hands-on preview<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Are you excited to see Axiom Verge 2 come to PlayStation?
