It’s not very often that the announcement of a sequel to a videogame puts a smile on my face, but then againZeno Clashisn’t your average game. While developer ACE Team is still hard at work on pumping out free downloadable content, the studio has entered into the planning stage for its next project,Zeno Clash 2.
Besides seeing the return of a few familiar faces like Ghat, Father Mother, and Golem, the sequel will continue after whereZeno Clash‘s storyline left off. ACE Team has gone on the record to say that the new game will have “open ended gameplay with large explorable environments and RPG elements.”
But of course, the fantastic melee combat from the first game isn’t going away forZeno Clash 2. The fighting system will “be expanded to feature even more brutal and engaging gameplay” for the next installment, according to the developer.
And as I mentioned above, thefreeZeno ClashDLCis going to keep on coming. A new update for the title went out today, and it brings Health and Time counters to Challenge Mode, among other things. If you still aren’t sure what the game is even about, check after the break for a post-launch trailer.
