Biped 2 Dev Diary. P1
Dear adventure-seekers,
As you may already know, we're making Biped 2. And today we're ready to reveal some new secrets and details about what's to come!
As we've mentioned before, the game will be released simultaneously on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch and will include local and cross-platform online co-op. It's also getting a new four-player co-op mode!
There's just one question: which challenges await our new rescue team (or lone hero, since the game will have a single-player mode as well)? Today we'll be lifting the veil a little to tell you more about the upcoming journey.
You can look forward to 16 levels that will test your determination, coordinated teamwork, and... mastery of the game's new mechanics! Here's some more info about them.
The rescue robots need to carry a ball to a certain spot in the level. But it's not as easy as it sounds! You have to kick the ball to get it moving, so calculate your trajectory well and make sure you get the ball past the obstacles and traps. Some challenges will require lightning-fast reflexes. The ball can "heat up,” at which point you'll have to immediately pass it to another explorer. Or it may change color after being kicked, requiring you to take turns kicking it.
This mechanic might remind you of a sliding puzzle or a dance-based arcade game. One of the explorers has a "remote,” a set of interactive cubes that activate platforms on the other explorer’s side that they can move across. Both will see the triggers that the first player has to step on, as well as the outlines of the platforms those triggers activate. But there's more to it than that! You’ll also have to watch out for fireballs flying over the platforms and coordinate your actions to change your route quickly.
Get ready to soar to new heights! In addition to the familiar rail rides, you can now go hang gliding. Spread your wings to get through the aerial parts of the level, but be careful—your glider will descend eventually, so calculate your trajectory exactly.
If hang gliding isn't enough for you, we've got you covered! A helicopter controlled by both players will take you even higher. As one of the explorers grabs onto the device and becomes the helicopter's "hands,” the other one can interact with various objects while in midair. The player controlling the helicopter has to skillfully navigate between locations to get the other player to the next passable area with pinpoint precision, while also enabling them to access new areas along the way.
Tell us what you think about these new mechanics. And, of course, stay tuned for new details on Biped 2. We’ve got plenty more to share.
