Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX 2, a follow-up to 2019's Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX, has been announced for Nintendo Switch and other platforms.
A direct sequel to that first game, Luminous Avenger iX 2 sees the return of Copen and Lola for more high-speed action. Copen, who can seamlessly switch between his power-focused "Break-Shift" form and the speed-enhanced "Bullit-Shift" form, has been treated to brand new weapon called the Razor Wheel, allowing him to rip through "any enemy standing in his way".
Our first glimpse at gameplay footage has arrived in the new trailer up above, so make sure to give that a watch.
Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX released back in September 2019, and Luminous Avenger iX 2 is its direct sequel! This new game takes the original speedy and stylish 2D action gameplay to the next level as Copen rips through enemies with his new "Break-Shift" form. His new destructive capabilities makes the high-speed action more satisfying than ever! Experience a new apeX of cutting-edge 2D action with Luminous Avenger iX 2!
It'll be launching on the Switch eShop on 27th January 2022, priced at $24.99. Switch is also getting a physical version, although details on that are yet to be announced.

Ohhhh yes. THIS is a surprise and I've been hoping this sub series continued.
I'm a bit out of the loop, but just to be sure: is the gameplay of Luminous Avenger iX closer to that of Megaman X/Zero/ZX? Gunvolt didn't really click with me.

If you played ASG2, Copen plays the same as he did there.
I bought my daughter the last Luminous Avenger IX, blah, blah, blah game and the little ****head beat it in 6 hours, SIX HOURS!!!!! So tonight she says "know what you can get me for my birthday" my hearing went all fuzzy because she was blabbing on about what ever the heck this was..... and being the Dad that i am I turned to her and said "NO". Oh, what fun it is to tease youth these days. Now she won't leave me alone about it. Bahahahahaha
Oh hell yeah, I loved the original! Copen has the most fun gameplay in the Gunvolt series imo.
Glad to see they've spun this off as a sub-series, Copen has some cool twists on the main gameplay. Also gives me hope for Gunvolt 3 when it comes out; I'd imagine that one will have you playing as Gunvolt for the whole time, then, rather than sharing the spotlight with Copen.
The first Luminous Avenger iX was a great time, so this is a nice surprise. Pretty cool that we're getting two brand new Gunvolt games in 2022.
The sub series looks better than the main.
And I barely have even broken the seals on the two previous games yet....
Keep 'em coming, Inti Creates. I'll buy pretty much whatever 2D action games they release.
Nice looking forward to getting this one too.
