Redout was a title that aimed to give its own spin on futuristic ant-grav racing, bringing to mind the likes of WipEout and F-Zero. It was a reasonable effort, though there were certainly areas for improvement; the hope is that its sequel will build on the IP's potential.

Saber Interactive and developer 34BigThings have now confirmed a release date for Redout 2; it'll arrive on Switch and everything else on 26th May, so it's not far away. There'll be plenty of optimism around it, but it's worth noting that competitive online multiplayer is going to be limited to six players in the Switch version, half that of other platforms.

You can see the official description for the game below:

Redout 2 is the biggest and fastest entry in the series yet, with more tracks than ever before. Strafe, tilt and boost your customizable hovership through dozens of mind-bending, jaw-dropping courses in a variety of game modes, including an expansive single-player campaign plus competitive online multiplayer for up to 12 players on PC, PlayStation and Xbox, and up to six players on Nintendo Switch.
