Press release:
London, 27th August 2026 – PQube today launched Aggelos 2, the highly anticipated sequel to the acclaimed 2D action-platformer metroidvania, physically on PlayStation 5® and Nintendo Switch™, and digitally on Steam®, PlayStation® 5, PlayStation® 4, Nintendo Switch™, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One. To celebrate, a brand-new trailer was revealed, giving players a taste of what they can expect as they return to the Kingdom of Lumen, embrace a shadowy new form, and fight their way through interconnected Light and Dark realms.

Blending lightning-fast combat with precision platforming, Aggelos 2 invites players on an adventure across the Kingdom of Lumen, where the Gods face imminent defeat at the hands of the Army of Darkness. Taking on the role of an Aggelos to defeat the darkness, players will harness angelic powers that favour a slower, disciplined approach, while being able to switch to a shadowy new Demon form that is highly agile, aggressive and bristling with dark powers.

Navigating across the labyrinthine landscapes of interconnected Light and Dark realms, players will explore a map nearly twice the size of the original as they uncover hidden secrets and take on challenges that test both their combat skills and platforming precision. Throughout their journey, they will discover orbs and power-ups to grow their powers and unlock abilities that provide new ways to push deeper into the Kingdom, all while taking on the formidable bosses that stand in their way.

Players can begin their journey to the Kingdom of Lumen from today across all platforms! Those starting their adventure digitally on PC (via Steam®) or PlayStation® 5 will be able to secure 20% off on their purchase for two weeks from launch.

About Aggelos 2

Aggelos 2 is an explosive action-platformer where lightning-fast combat, precision platforming, and two opposing worlds collide. As an Aggelos, the highest order of angels, you are chosen by Balro to venture through the Kingdom of Lumen, domain of the supreme God of Light. But with Lumen under siege and the Gods facing imminent defeat at the hands of the Army of Darkness, you are forced to embrace a shadowy new form to survive the chaos of both light and dark realms.

While your angelic side favors a slower, disciplined approach, your demon form is highly agile, aggressive, and bristling with dark powers. Mastering the shift between both forms is key to survival, and only by balancing order and chaos can you hope to overcome formidable enemies, deadly obstacles, and challenging puzzles along your path.

Key Features

Parallel realms: Explore two massive interconnected maps, each with their own unique characteristics, enemies to fight, secrets to discover, and challenges to overcome.

Dual Combat System: Switch between Angel and Demon forms to change the world and your playstyle, from precise defenses to fast assaults, mastering timing, strategy, and reflexes.

Emerge victorious: Take on hordes of enemies and conquer 13 massive bosses across both realms. Steel yourself for memorable encounters that build on the original game’s signature battles.

Puzzles of Discovery: Solve challenges by mastering skills, memorising routes, manipulating mechanisms, avoiding traps, and interacting with the world to reveal secrets and new paths.

Grow your power: Collect orbs to unlock devastating special attacks, boost your strength and increase your survivability, adding a tactical layer to your progression.

Evolve to survive: Unlock new skills as you progress, from flight and wall grabs to dashes and powerful special attacks, offering up new ways to explore and reach previously inaccessible areas.

Stunning 16-bit Artwork: Striking pixel art and detailed sprites designed to complement smooth, fast-paced 2D gameplay.
