The magnetic journey returns in new region of Old Europe this coming Spring on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation and Xbox
Publisher Modus Games and developer Rain Games today revealed first gameplay of Teslagrad 2, the eagerly awaited follow-up to the 2+ million copy selling puzzle-platforming adventure Teslagrad. The original team behind the acclaimed 2013 hit have returned to create Teslagrad 2‘s mysterious and melancholy new setting which fans of the franchise will be able to experience in Spring 2023 on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One.
Teslagrad 2‘s trailer joins new hero, Lumina, as she crash-lands into an uncharted region and discovers an ancient tower brimming with technology. Lumina’s journey will see her harness the forgotten art of Teslamancy, wielding electromagnetic abilities to solve perplexing physics-based puzzles, explore winding caves and industrial chambers, and outwit the mysterious enemies and traps awaiting her.
“I have been dreaming about making Teslagrad 2 for years,” said Peter Wingaard Meldahl, project lead at Rain Games. “The story, gameplay and mechanics have been fermenting in my head since we released the original, and it is truly an awesome feeling to see this dream materialise.”
“We are thrilled to be partnering with Rain Games,” said Christina Seelye, CEO at Modus Games. “Teslagrad 2 is being developed by the same talented team that worked on the first game, so we know fans will be just as excited as we are to experience the new entry.”
The game’s hand-drawn visuals use pastels and muted tones to bring vistas of untamed nature to life, as well as steampunk visions of Old Europe as inspired by Scandinavian culture and folklore. Lumina’s command of Teslamancy makes traversing Teslagrad 2‘s somber environments feel satisfying and empowering, allowing players to manipulate realistic physics and unique powers to overcome obstacles and survive surreal dangers.
