E3 2012: Zeno Clash II Set for a 2013 Release!

Game publisher Atlus has announced that Zeno Clash II, the sequel to the celebrated indie 1st person brawler, will be making its way to Xbox Live Arcade, Playstation Network and Steam will be released in early 2013.

Even at the early stages of development, this beat em up looks gorgeous. It seems like punching people in the face will never have looked so pretty. Aside from graphics, plenty of new features have been added including lock-on abilities, pinpoint accuracy for where your attacks land and RPG elements that will help you create your fighter the way you want to.

But most importantly, the addition on online co-op will be what expands the possibilites of the game more than anything. Traversing the world of Zenozoik is promising to be enough of an experience as it is, so exploring it with a friend can only make it better, which is the goal the developers are trying to meet according to Andres Bordeu, co-founder of developer ACE Team.

 “The world of Zenozoik is one of wild dreams and wilder nightmares. This is part of the reason we are working on Zeno Clash II, to give players the opportunity to explore Zenozoik with a friend via online cooperative multiplayer, turning those moments of wonder and awe into a shared adventure.  We will make certain that going back and forth between solo and cooperative play preserves the consistency and impact of the narrative experience, while still allowing friends easily drop in and out of the game’s fulfilling exploration and visceral melee combat.”

 

Keep a black eye out for Zeno Clash II early next year.
