River City Girls 2 had a very quirky, offhand reveal back at E3 in the Summer thanks to Limited Run Games, and it made another appearance in today's Indie World with a new gameplay trailer. Developer WayForward has given a Summer 2022 window for release, too, so it seems to be shaping up nicely.
It ramps up a fair bit from the first one with more playable characters and what look like some fantastic settings. Some official details are below.
WayForward is back with the sequel to the acclaimed beat-’em-up River City Girls. There’s trouble once again in River City, with higher stakes, meaner streets and even more over-the-top humor. Take control of one of six characters, including returning powerhouses Kyoko and Misako. River City Girls 2 features new moves, enemies, areas and items … not to mention branching paths, as well as a new soundtrack by the first game’s composer Megan McDuffee. Get the fists flying solo, or team up with a friend locally or online.
The first game was a big hit on Switch and other systems - are you planning to pick up the sequel next Summer?

Didn’t play the first game yet hopefully I will soon however.
The best trailer of a dreadful presentation
this looks like a beautiful example of taking what the first game did, and doing it better.
this one is gonna be so good.
@CharlieGirl agreed, with online play at that 👍🏾
@CharlieGirl completely agree. They even said they were taking everything people loved, and just adding to it. I love sequels that do this.
@CharlieGirl Agreed Charlie
Early 2022 became next Summer then? Oh...
I'm not sure what I'm more excited for - the fact that there's a new game coming or the fact that there's a new soundtrack coming
This, TMNT and Elden Ring are my most anticipated games of 2022.
May get this if it had a physical release like the first one.
Looking forward to this one, enjoyed the first and I am a Kunio-kun fan anyway (except the sports games).
I never get tired of beating up Abobo.
Mechanically and aesthetically the first game was good, but for me the cadence in gameplay just wasn’t there. Something was not driving me to push through the game and so I didn’t
@Greatluigi
The first game is on sale right now. Here in Europe at least. Personally I'm waiting for the price to go down and then get it on sale.
@Specter_of-the_OLED LRG already announced both this and Zero will get physical releases. We'll probably get more details closer to launch.
"Everything people liked in the first one plus a lot more!" So..also things people disliked? 🧐 Joking aside, the first game is pretty fun and this one looks like it will be better.
