Devolver Digital and Le Cartel Studio have officially announced the development of Heave Ho 2, the highly anticipated sequel to their acclaimed co-op party game, slated for release on Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch.
Building on the chaotic, comedic action that defined the original title, Heave Ho 2 promises even more multiplayer mayhem when it arrives digitally via the Nintendo eShop on both platforms globally in Summer 2026. Heave Ho 2 once again invites players to team up or compete in wild, slapstick challenges for 2-4 players.
Whether cooperating together or facing off in spirited versus matches, the gameplay encourages laughter—and plenty of friendly rivalry—as players grab, grapple, and swing through a variety of inventive environments.
This time, the adventure spans eight distinct themed worlds, ranging from the zero-gravity antics of space to frantic culinary chaos, each filled with new mechanics and surprises. One of the most significant upgrades for Heave Ho 2 is the introduction of full online multiplayer support, allowing friends to party together remotely for the first time in series history.
In addition to the local couch co-op mode beloved by fans, players can now jump into online co-op or versus sessions with up to four participants.
GameShare functionality makes it easier than ever to experience the fun: just one player owning the game can invite up to three others locally or online, ensuring everyone gets in on the action. Le Cartel Studio co-founder and artist Alexandre Muttoni described the project by stating that the sequel has brought a newfound sense of joy and purpose, even surpassing typical weekend pastimes.
Expressing that if Heave Ho 2 could create such a shift for him, it certainly has the potential to do so for players everywhere. Key features announced for Heave Ho 2 include: - Online Co-op and Versus Modes: Experience the complete party game with friends online or locally for 2-4 players. - Eight All-New Worlds: Tackle an array of unique domains, each introducing creative gadgets and interactive scenarios such as pop guns, sauce bottles, levers, keys, and drones. - Enhanced Visuals: Sharper environments, expressive character animations, and improved visual directions help players navigate and strategize during fast-paced moments. - Competitive Versus Play: Challenge teammates in brand-new versus rounds, sparking friendly arguments and unforgettable gaming moments. Devolver Digital’s ongoing partnership with Le Cartel Studio marks yet another chapter in delivering whimsical, player-centric experiences to the Nintendo Switch ecosystem.
With its upcoming arrival on both the Nintendo Switch and the new Nintendo Switch 2, Heave Ho 2 sets its sights on continuing the legacy of engaging, laughter-filled party games for Switch fans worldwide.
