Ghostrunner 2, the highly anticipated sequel to the 2020 sci-fi game, will be released in October, amidst a crowded month of other high-profile game releases.

The successful release of the original Ghostrunner game has built excitement among fans, who are eagerly awaiting the sequel.

505 Games has made an official announcement that Ghostrunner 2, the follow-up to the sci-fi title released in 2020, will be available in stores in October. With several highly anticipated games set to be released over the next few months, particularly in October, it remains to be seen how Ghostrunner 2 will fare in terms of timing. Nevertheless, its launch will face competition from other notable titles.

Following its successful launch on PC, PS4, and Xbox One, the original Ghostrunner achieved significant popularity, particularly after its next-gen upgrade to the PS5 and Xbox X|S consoles. Despite receiving post-launch updates in the form of new modes and cosmetic DLCs, fans quickly began anticipating a sequel. In May 2021, 505 Games announced that Ghostrunner 2 was in development.

While not much information has been released about the title since then, the studio confirmed that fans could expect Ghostrunner 2 to be released around Q4 of 2023. Recently, leaks about the game have started surfacing online, and 505 Games has officially announced the release date for the sequel: October 26. Alongside this announcement, preorders for Ghostrunner 2 have been made available, offering three editions to choose from: the standalone title priced at $39.99, the Deluxe Edition priced at $49.99, and the Brutal Edition priced at $69.99, which grants players 48 hours of early access to the game. Additionally, fans who preorder Ghostrunner 2 will receive various cosmetic items for each version of the game.

The preorder trailer offers a glimpse into the future of the Ghostrunner sequel, showcasing its story, gameplay, and mechanics. In this sequel, players will witness the cyber ninja protagonist Jack venturing outside the perilous Dharma Tower for the first time, exploring the wasteland beyond. Promising to surpass the original in every possible way, Ghostrunner 2 will feature intense motorcycle combat. Additionally, the game will introduce new powers, upgradeable abilities, innovative traversal mechanics, an expanded narrative, immersive world-building, and formidable new enemies.

Interestingly, Ghostrunner 2 joins a crowded lineup of October releases, alongside titles like Assassin's Creed Mirage, Super Mario Bros. Wonder, Spider-Man 2, and Forza Motorsport. Even Alan Wake 2 recently shifted its launch date to accommodate the torrent of October releases. Regardless, gamers can look forward to an exhilarating few months ahead.

Ghostrunner 2 releases on October 26, 2023 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
