Guacamelee! 2, the sequel to the acclaimed whimsical metroidvania title that first landed on previous generation consoles back in 2013 has a release date. A new trailer confirms the game will arrive on PS4 next month, August 21.
The trailer description reads:
“Seven years after defeating Carlos Calaca, Juan Aguacate is forced to don his luchador mask again to face a new threat – this time to the very fabric of space and time. Punch your way through a whole new Metroidvania style world and try to save the Mexiverse!”

The brief gameplay demo showcases some new moves for our favorite luchador, as well as chicken form abilities. The new game also features four-player drop-in/drop-out co-op, which is an expanded version of a beloved feature of the previous game —so much so that we included it in our list of the 55 best PS4 couch co-op games.
Guacamelee! 2 is priced at $19.99. Although the previous game was recently launched on Microsoft and Nintendo’s consoles, there’s no word yet on whether the sequel will come to Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.
