PQube and developer Corecell Technology have revealed that AeternoBlade II will soon be playable on a Nintendo Switch near you. It's expected to launch across multiple platforms this autumn.
A press release for the game describes its gameplay as "pure poetry", which is a pretty bold statement to make. Players can expect to come across jump 'n' run sections, puzzle-platforming elements and dynamic combat which will combine to challenge your creativity as you play. We've got a little more info for you below:
Harness the AeternoBlade and play as three unique characters, including returning heroine Freyja and newcomers Felix and Bernard. Each equipped with an individual set of skills, they journey across dimensions in a desperate struggle against the destruction of the Dark Abyss. The power of the AeternoBlade must be returned or reality, as they know it, will face total collapse.
The first game - AeternoBlade - left us a little frustrated when we reviewed it last year, not because anything in it was irreversibly broken, but because brief glimpses of excellence showed what could’ve been. Hopefully this sequel will deliver on the hopes we had the first time around.

Pure poetry?
Dead Cells, Hollow Knight, The Messenger, even Shovel Knight and some others would like to have a WORD with you...
The original simply didn't click with me.
All the best for the studio, though
I liked the first one. It was simple but effective.
Just read the review for the first game. I wait for a review for this one.
I bought the first one on the 3DS when it was really down it price...like less than 2 pounds, I think...I got through most of it but at some point it just got boring and I never finished it so this is an easy pass for me.
Seems like another knockoff of Castlevania to me. I might pick it up if it ever gone on sale just like the first one but for now I'm saving my bucks for Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night.
Looks good. Would be great if they make a collection of 1 and 2 on a physical release!
Pretty sure I've bought the original like 3 times and never played more than 30 minutes. Every time I tried I just couldn't get in to it. I'll give this one a shot though, looks like a more finished game from the trailer.
Looks way better then the first. Hope it's as good as it looks.
The first had potential, but it just got so boring for me. I really wanted to like it, but I kept finding and playing games comparatively better at the style of game, so I shelved it. It's still on my 3DS. If the sequel reviews well, I may get back into this series, but for now, it's on the back burner.
