Samurai Gunn 2 was announced back in 2018 as a Nintendo Switch game, but developer Beau Blyth and associates have been relatively quiet about the platform fighter since then. On Wednesday, I finally received an update: Samurai Gunn 2 comes to Steam Early Access this summer and brings new friends with it.
Among those friends is the guy from Minutes and Ana from Spelunky 2 – both playable characters. You can see the duo in a new trailer for Samurai Gunn 2, the sequel to the original 2013 weapons and katana fighter.
Samurai Gunn 2 will include three modes: Adventure, Versus and Comic. The developer says it intends to “continue updating Samurai Gunn 2 in Early Access until we finish Adventure mode, finish comics, and expand Versus mode with lots of new characters and levels. We expect this to take about a year or so, but it may take longer, depending on player feedback and any other additional content ideas we come up with. “The Early Access version is expected to be released with eight playable characters, nine Versus levels, the first quarter of Adventure (21 levels) and the first of the six Comic chapters.
On Twitter, the developer also reaffirmed that a Nintendo Switch version of Samurai Gunn 2 comes, saying “we’re still planning to hit Switch with our 1.0 release.”
