PS4 Gets Guacamelee 2, Check Out The First Gameplay Trailer

A sequel to acclaimed Metroidvania-style platformer Guacamelee is officially on the way. Guacamelee 2 was the first game revealed as part of Sony's pre-show before its Paris Games Week showcase today, and it's on the way to PS4.

DrinkBox Studios is again developing the game, which strongly resembles its predecessor, both in terms of its colorful visual style and its gameplay. We got to see one new ability players will obtain called Chicken Shot, which allows you to transform into a chicken and then dash in seemingly any direction. This was shown to be useful for navigating the world and in combat. There's also four-player co-op support. You can check all of this out in the debut trailer below.

As this was announced at a Sony event, we only know that it's coming to PS4. The first game came to numerous platforms, so it's possible we'll end up seeing this on PC, Xbox One, or Switch. Notably, however, there was no mention of a Vita version. It's coming to PS4 "soon-ish," though it won't arrive until sometime in 2018.

There's much more to come from Sony's Paris Games Week showcase. Follow along with our Sony conference liveblog and livestream, and stay tuned for all the news.
