Deck13 Spotlight and indie studio Just2D have officially unveiled Drova 2: Torn Lands, the next entry in the Drova action RPG series slated for Nintendo Switch and additional platforms.
The announcement positions the sequel as a direct follow-up to Drova: Forsaken Kin, which is currently available on Nintendo Switch via the eShop.
Setting and narrative
The developers describe Drova 2 as a return to the Otherworld after the events of the first game.
In journalistic terms, the team explains that while the Dark Fog that once corrupted the realm has lifted and divine forces are free, the landscape remains fractured: a vast ravine now splits the territory and an unnamed threat lurks beneath the surface.
Two new factions have emerged around rival Divinities — the Bear Mother and the Great Ram — and player allegiance will shape aspects of the story and quest outcomes.
Gameplay and design philosophy
Deck13 Spotlight and Just2D say the sequel builds on the original’s strengths.
In clear terms, the studios state Drova 2 delivers a slightly larger open world with comparable attention to environmental detail, an expanded and refined combat system, two faction paths, new cultures to discover, and more consequential decision points that influence how the world evolves.
The teams reaffirm the series’ signature design stance by keeping the world free of quest markers and maintaining a candid “No Bullshit” approach: they intend to treat players seriously and let choices and exploration drive progression.
Combat and world systems
According to the announcement, combat sees iteration rather than reinvention — the beloved mechanics from Forsaken Kin are expanded with additional combat styles and refined systems to offer more player agency.
The Otherworld remains dangerous even without the Dark Fog, with both returning and new monsters populating its wilderness and key narrative decisions eventually forcing unavoidable confrontations.
Trailer and availability
Deck13 Spotlight and Just2D published an announcement trailer alongside the reveal.
No release date or full platform list was provided at the time of the announcement; the studios have confirmed Nintendo Switch as a supported platform and that more information will follow.
Drova: Forsaken Kin remains available now on Nintendo Switch via the eShop for players who want to experience the series before the sequel releases.
