You’re off the rails! Not me. I abide by the rules, especially if it means co-oping with a mate in Aaero2. The ribbon-riding rhythm rail shooter from Mad Fellows will debut on Xbox later this year and be released on Steam shortly after.

After winning multiple awards with the first outing, the sequel is built from the ground up (in space), considering the feedback from fans and subsequent critiques. What follows is a co-op PvP game that can be played both locally and online.

In Aaero 2, you control a mysterious spacecraft that traces ribbons of light that release the energy in music created by Monstercat. Key features include:

  • Incredible Licensed Soundtrack: Experience an electrifying soundtrack provided by Monstercat, perfectly synchronized with the game’s action to keep your adrenaline pumping.
  • Dynamic Multiplayer Modes: Engage in thrilling 2-player co-op and PvP modes, available both locally on the couch and online, adding a fresh layer of excitement and competition.
  • Everything is tailored to the music: Enjoy gameplay and environments carefully crafted to align with each unique music track.
  • Stunning Visuals & Effects: Expect a vibrant and dynamic atmosphere with mesmerizing lighting and effects.
  • New Combat System: Redesigned from the ground up, discover a reworked combat system, offering fresh, dynamic gameplay mechanics to master.
  • Epic Boss Battles: Face off against gigantic, formidable creatures in epic boss battles that will test your skills and timing.

Aaero 2 will release on Xbox in September, followed by a Steam version. Make sure to wishlist it to remind yourself to snap it up on release.
