Biped 2 Launches on Nintendo Switch with Expanded Co-Op and Fresh Gameplay Features

META Publishing is set to expand its acclaimed robotic adventure with the release of Biped 2 on Nintendo Switch, arriving globally via the Switch eShop on November 5th, 2024.

Building on the success of its predecessor, Biped, which first launched for Nintendo Switch in 2020, the sequel promises even more engaging cooperative gameplay and innovative movement mechanics that appeal to both solo players and fans of multiplayer fun. Biped 2 retains the original’s distinctive charm, requiring players to control a lovable robot’s left and right feet independently—a mechanic that challenges coordination and strategy through diverse platforming environments.

The sequel introduces brand-new ways to traverse its colorful worlds, including hang gliders for soaring, grappling hooks for scaling obstacles, and the return of the fan-favorite sliding mechanic.

Each movement option feels carefully woven into the level design, offering players fresh methods to solve puzzles and traverse tricky landscapes. Cooperative play remains central to Biped 2’s appeal.

In addition to the returning solo and two-player modes, the sequel debuts a four-player cooperative option, elevating the game’s social atmosphere.

A standout new "pair" mechanic enables two players to merge their efforts as one robot—one taking control of the legs while the other manages the arms—requiring seamless teamwork to solve intricate puzzles.

"Unite with your robot partner and coordinate every move to navigate specialized challenges together," said a representative from META Publishing, summarizing the core of this gameplay innovation. Players can expect to journey through newly introduced biomes across unknown planets, encountering mysterious characters and unique elementals along the way.

The environments not only offer visual variety but also feature their own challenges and interactive puzzles, set against a backdrop of immersive music and atmospheric design. Customization also takes center stage in Biped 2.

Players can collect treasures and unlock new hats and outfits, allowing every robot companion to stand out during their interplanetary adventures and co-op escapades. Biped 2 will be available exclusively as a digital download from the Nintendo Switch eShop, priced at £16.75 / $19.99.

Its predecessor received praise for its creative puzzle design and approachable co-op mechanics, though it was noted for its shorter length.

With expanded multiplayer options and enriched content, Biped 2 looks poised to delight both returning players and newcomers seeking a fresh cooperative challenge on Nintendo’s hybrid console.
