Evoland 2 Announced
Bordeaux, France – July 15, in the year of our Lord
2015 – French indie developer Shiro Games today
announced that Evoland 2: A Slight Case of Spacetime Continuum
Disorder, the time-traveling, genre-spanning standalone
follow-up to the 2013 indie hit Evoland, will release worldwide
on digital storefronts for Windows PC on August 25, 2015, with
Mac and Linux versions to follow soon after. Players who
pre-order Evoland 2 through the official website will receive a
special 10% off discount as well as a digital art book.
A unique RPG adventure on a grand scale, Evoland 2 takes players
on a truly epic journey through time and across a variety of
classic and contemporary video game styles. Filled with homages,
a wide variety of gameplay genres, and a graphical style that
morphs throughout the game, Evoland 2 is an RPG adventure
bursting with charm and character. Players can expect exciting
beat-’em-up battles, captivating puzzles, pixel-perfect
platforming, a tense shoot-’em-up segment, and much, much more.
“By confirming to our fans when Evoland 2 will release, we hope
the excitement and anticipation will garner further awareness of
this very special game,” said Sebastien Vidal, CEO of Shiro
Games. “We are taking every measure to deliver a memorable
experience that delivers on the original vision we had set for
the original Evoland. This is going to be an epic adventure
through the world of videogames and we hope players will join
us.”
The story of Evoland 2 revolves around a hero who must protect
the strange world he lives in by learning to understand events
in different timelines, and in turn attempt to alter a grim
future for the better. With a strange secret buried within the
core of this world affecting the course of time itself and
powerful forces at play, can he change the world’s destiny or is
it already set in stone?
The original Evoland released in early 2013 for PC and Mac via
Steam as well as on mobile devices, and has sold over 500,000
copies to date. Developer Shiro Games has absorbed critic and
user feedback garnered from the original Evoland and has
expanded its development team significantly in its endeavor to
fully realize – and exceed – the original game’s vision. Evoland
2 is a standalone experience, and the player’s enjoyment will
not be dependent upon playing the first Evoland. Existing fans
will also appreciate the host of new gameplay styles and
elements to warrant experiencing the world in an entirely new
way while maintaining the game’s familiar charm.
