Inti Creates has officially unveiled the Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX 1+2 Dual Collection, set for release on July 9, 2026 for Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and PC.
This comprehensive package brings together both Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX (originally launched in 2019) and its acclaimed sequel, Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX 2 (released in 2022), along with all previously available downloadable content.
The collection is designed for both series veterans and newcomers, promising fresh gameplay experiences via added features and enhancements. Inti Creates, renowned for its expertise in crafting high-speed 2D action platformers, continues its legacy with this special Dual Collection.
The game developer has announced that, in addition to the original content and complete DLC roster, players will have access to new gameplay elements, including the innovative "Endless Battle" mode.
This feature challenges players to confront an unending procession of random bosses, with configurable settings allowing tailored gameplay experiences.
Both titles in the collection have also received comprehensive balance updates, designed to make controls sharper and overall gameplay more accessible for all skill levels. The Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX 1+2 Dual Collection is not limited to digital formats.
In Japan, fans can look forward to a physical release, which comes in two distinct editions.
The Standard Edition provides a copy of the game, while the Limited Edition delivers extensive extras: a deluxe A4-sized art book titled 'Official Complete Works' and a four-disc 'Complete Soundtrack', making it a collector’s item for series enthusiasts.
Pre-orders for either edition will also receive an exclusive A4 clear file as a bonus. The original Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX established a fast-paced, accessible take on the Gunvolt universe, spotlighting the protagonist Copen and his swift, aerial movements.
The distinctive "Darkness Trigger" berserk mode in the first game now comes enhanced in the Dual Collection, further deepening the high-octane gameplay.
Its sequel, Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX 2, elevates the formula with the introduction of Copen's "Break-Shift" form, delivering new destructive abilities and the "Spike Smash" system, which upgrades his signature Razor Wheel weapon.
Both games support the newly introduced Endless Battle mode, extending replay value for dedicated players. With a firm release date and notable physical and digital offerings, Inti Creates reinforces its commitment to the Gunvolt franchise and the 2D action platformer genre.
Expect the Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX 1+2 Dual Collection to make a significant impact when it arrives for Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, PS5, and PC in July 2026.
