Gameplay
Ghostrunner 2 will be played in first-person perspective where you will take on the role of Jack aka ‘The Ghostrunner’. His impressive agility allows him to traverse through dangerous environments by jumping, dashing, sliding, and wall-running. Additionally, he can also use a grappling hook to swing around, aided by the Sensory Boost ability, which briefly slows down time to make this kind of traversal safer.
The upcoming action game will also introduce the Stamina Meter, which dictates how often you can dash and deflect attacks from enemies. While the sword is Jack’s primary weapon, he also possesses special abilities that will be very useful in combat and even for solving puzzles.
One of the newest additions to the game is the motorcycle, an item that was not included in the first game. During certain levels, it can be used for vehicular combat and also for conveniently traversing through non-linear levels. As you progress, you will be able to unlock several upgrades for Jack and enhance his abilities. However, there won’t be any upgrades available for the motorcycle.
Story
Set one year after the events of the first game in a post-apocalyptic cyberpunk future, the people of Dharma Tower are rebuilding after Jack vanquishes The Keymaster, a tyrant who ruled over the tower. In the wake of her demise, new threats have emerged and are attempting to fill the power vacuum with chaos.
One such group is the dangerous AI Cult. In order to protect the people of Dharma Tower and maintain some semblance of peace and order, Jack and his team are forced to take on these groups and stop their threat once and for all.
