Sign-ups for the Ghostrunner 2 closed beta are now open, 505 Games has announced, but slots are “very limited”.
Ghostrunner is a well-received 2020 action platformer developed by One More Level. You play Jack the Ghostrunner in a fast-paced, cyberpunk-themed first-person “slasher” that’s all about dashing, jumping, wall-running, grappling, and sliding. There’s a cool slow down time mechanic that lets you dodge and deflect bullets in midair.
In May, 505 revealed vehicular combat, with Jack getting his very own ninja motorcycle. The new Previously in Ghostrunner video, below, recaps the events of the first game that led to Jack’s escape from Dharma Tower, setting the scene for him to explore the wasteland beyond in the sequel.
The video ends with a tease for more news on Monday, August 21 ahead of gamescom. Ghostrunner 2 is due out later in 2023 for PC, PlayStation and Xbox consoles.
