Wizard needs food badly
Crackshell has been showing off snippets of their upcomingHammerwatch IIfor a few years now, but today it has been fully revealed. Modus Entertainment has announced thatHammerwatch IIwill be coming to PC, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, PS5, and Nintendo Switch this summer.
2013’sHammerwatchand its spinoff, 2018’sHeroes of Hammerwatch, are something of fixtures in the indie hack-and-slash space. They’re notable for their strong co-op elements.Hammerwatch IIis boasting much of the same action, but including a day/night cycle and an “entirely new” mapmaker. The press release for this also touts “smarter enemy AI,” which sounds kind of weird for aGauntlet-like.
Thetrailer dropped alongsidethe announcement shows off the good stuff: ghost wolves! Also, dragonsanddungeons.
The release also says that a special edition ofHammerwatch IIwill be available at retail stores and digitally at launch. TitledHammerwatch II: The Chronicles Edition, this will run you $40 American dollars and include “the original remasteredHammerwatch,” as well as character color palettes, “facial items,” and a voice pack. I have no idea if this is a new remaster ofHammerwatchand what that entails, or if it’s just a re-release.
I never playedHammerwatch, but Steam thinks I really should since it features heavily on the store for me. It looks cool, but having one friend is exhausting for me. I can’t imagine what it would be like to have three friends.
Hammerwatch IIwill be dropping on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, PS5, and Nintendo Switch sometime this summer.
