PQube has confirmed that Aggelos 2 will arrive on Nintendo Switch — both at retail and digitally via the Nintendo eShop — worldwide on 27 August 2026.
The sequel, developed in partnership with PixelHeart, continues the series’ 2D action-platforming roots and aims to expand its scope with larger maps, refined combat, and enhanced visuals.
PQube and PixelHeart present Aggelos 2 as a high-energy action-platformer that combines rapid combat, precise platforming, and two opposing realms.
Players take on the role of an Aggelos, a high-ranking angel selected by Balro to traverse the Kingdom of Lumen, the seat of the supreme God of Light.
As Lumen comes under siege by the Army of Darkness, the narrative forces the protagonist to adopt a shadowy alternate form, navigating both light and dark realms to survive and push back the invading forces.
The sequel introduces a dual combat system that shifts gameplay depending on form: the angelic state emphasizes disciplined, defensive tactics, while the demon form prioritizes agility, aggression, and dark powers.
Mastery of switching between these forms is central to progression and overcoming increasingly challenging foes.
Key features outlined by the publisher include:
- Parallel realms: Two expansive, interconnected maps with distinct environments, enemies, secrets, and challenges.
- Dual Combat System: Swap between Angel and Demon forms to alter the world and your combat approach, relying on timing, strategy, and reflexes.
- Boss encounters: Thirteen major bosses span both realms, promising large-scale battles that build on the original title’s design philosophy.
- Puzzles and exploration: Environmental puzzles, route memorization, and interactive mechanisms unlock secrets and new paths.
- Progression systems: Collectible orbs fuel special attacks and stat boosts, while a skill tree grants abilities such as flight, wall grabs, dashes, and powerful special moves.
- Retro-inspired visuals: Detailed 16-bit-style pixel art and animation designed to complement fast-paced 2D gameplay.
A trailer accompanying the announcement highlights gameplay footage of both combat forms, traversal, and boss set pieces.
