Enter the Gungeon 2 Announced for Nintendo Switch 2: Dodge Roll’s Cult Hit Returns in 3D

Enter the Gungeon 2 Confirmed for Nintendo Switch 2: A Bold 3D Evolution for Dodge Roll’s Beloved Roguelike Sequel In a major announcement during the latest Nintendo Direct, Dodge Roll Games and publisher Devolver Digital unveiled Enter the Gungeon 2, the eagerly anticipated sequel to the acclaimed indie roguelike, Enter the Gungeon.

Slated for release on the newly announced Nintendo Switch 2, the next installment promises to elevate the series with a dramatic shift to a 3D art style and a host of gameplay enhancements. Originally launched in 2016, Enter the Gungeon quickly became a staple of the indie gaming scene, celebrated for its challenging gameplay, fast-paced shooting mechanics, and signature pixel art.

Dodge Roll Games has since earned a reputation for detailed world-building and developer support, with the title accruing significant sales milestones and a fervent fanbase.

Enter the Gungeon’s unique blend of bullet-hell action and roguelike progression set it apart on platforms like the Nintendo Switch and the eShop. The newly revealed Enter the Gungeon 2 distinguishes itself with fully realized 3D visuals, departing from the top-down pixel aesthetic that defined its predecessor.

The reveal trailer, shown during the Nintendo Direct, showcased dynamic environments and reimagined versions of the game’s beloved cast, now brought to life with expressive animations and effects.

According to official information provided by Devolver Digital, players will once again delve into the mysterious, ever-shifting labyrinth of the Gungeon.

Procedurally generated levels promise fresh challenges and new secrets in both familiar and previously unexplored zones. Players will face relentless waves of the Gundead, encountering both fan-favorite enemies and newly designed adversaries crafted specifically for this sequel.

The game’s arsenal remains a highlight, offering an impressive variety of imaginative firearms and gear, each capable of creative upgrades and combinations.

Enter the Gungeon 2 also introduces an expanded roster of Gungeoneers, featuring returning characters and all-new heroes to unlock, rescue, and master. In a formal statement from Devolver Digital, the publisher emphasized the sequel's ambition: players are tasked with exploring deeper into the Gungeon, uncovering its secrets, extracting stranded heroes, and perfecting their arsenal through a system of upgrades, passive and active items, blessings, curses, and player skill.

The publisher also underscored the franchise’s trademark humor and high-stakes action, now further intensified by the game’s move to 3D. Enter the Gungeon 2’s confirmation marks a significant upcoming release for the Nintendo Switch 2’s library and a major evolution for Dodge Roll Games.

The franchise’s leap into a new dimension not only modernizes its visual presentation but sets the stage for even more kinetic and varied gameplay experiences.
