Grab a free Steam key for Neon Abyss 2, the new cyberpunk roguelike

The only thing better than a good gameplay loop in an action-packed roguelike like Hades 2 or Dead Cells is the ability to take on that challenge with friends in online co-op again and again. Luckily, that is exactly what Neon Abyss 2 serves up, along with a colorful cyberpunk world.

Insights into Future Optimization Plans

[p]Agents, hello! We are the development team of Veewo Games’ Neon Abyss 2.[/p][p][/p][p]After a long wait, Neon Abyss 2 officially launched its Early Access (EA) debut yesterday. First and foremost, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude to all the players who have supported Veewo Games and the Neon Abyss series over the years. Thank you for your love for this franchise and for your unwavering support.[/p][p][/p][p]Since the EA release, the game has received a flood of feedback from both new and veteran players. These include positive reviews about the new systems and content in Neon Abyss 2, excitement for future EA updates, and a significant amount of constructive criticism regarding the game’s shortcomings. Regardless of praise or critique, all feedback will greatly aid us in refining Neon Abyss 2 ahead of its 1.0 official release. Here, we’d like to address some of the most-discussed concerns in the community and clarify our plans for adjustments moving forward.[/p][p][/p][h3]Criticism 1: Poor Co-op Experience, Unbalanced Resource Competition[/h3][p]We’ve received extensive feedback about co-op play. Since multiplayer is one of Neon Abyss 2’s major new features, optimizing this experience is a top priority.[/p][p]Current Solutions:[/p][p]- We’re introducing resource storage devices (currently only in the "Black Dog" layer, with more to be added across randomized layers in upcoming updates). These will allow players to exchange resources in-game, reducing conflicts over shared builds (BD resources) that currently lead to imbalanced damage output.[/p][p]- We’re exploring item ownership/sharing mechanics to protect and distribute items fairly in co-op. However, this is a complex system and may take time to implement.[/p][p]Additional optimizations will follow as we monitor post-update performance. We ask for your patience as we work on these improvements.[/p][p][/p][h3]Criticism 2: Visual Clutter (Effects, Hatchmons) in Co-op[/h3][p]Visual noise during co-op—such as teammate effects and Hakibao companions—is a known challenge. The art team is testing further fixes: lowering effect opacity, toning down Hatchmon visuals, and reducing scene saturation.[/p][p][/p][h3]Criticism 3: Subpar Controller Support and Performance Stuttering[/h3][p]We’ve prioritized controller optimization in Neon Abyss 2, adding numerous customization options. Check the settings menu to tweak your experience—and share any suggestions directly with us![/p][p]For stuttering issues: A bug causing intermittent freezes was identified and hotfixed shortly after launch. Smooth performance remains a long-term focus, and we’ll continue monitoring and optimizing over future updates.[/p][p][/p][p]The above addresses key community concerns. We’ll keep listening to your feedback (via official channels like Discord) and strive to make Neon Abyss 2 a worthy successor for all players.[/p][p]Once again, thank you for your support and honesty.[/p][p][/p][p]Veewo Games[/p]

Neon Abyss 2 Early Access is now live!

The upgraded Abyss 2.0 is open for business, and we’re taking anything you’ve got. Dive in now as a solo Agent, or with up to four-player co-op - allowing you to hit every corner of the Abyss with upgraded firepower, Agents, Hatchmons and… well, everything. Head over to the Steam Store now to check out Neon Abyss 2 in all its Early Access glory.

[dynamiclink][/dynamiclink]
With the upgraded Abyss now officially open for business you can hop in to experience everything that we’ve been working on so far.

  • Chaotic four-player multiplayer – move forward as one to face challenges together, or split up and explore each level of the upgraded Abyss 2.0 separately. Multiplying the Agents multiplies the chaos with more synergies, more firepower and more anarchy.
  • An upgraded arsenal – the upgraded Abyss 2.0 gives more than just “guns – lots of guns”. We’ve added new swords, knuckles, magical weapons and even sports equipment (not JUST good for a zombie apocalypse). Upgrade weapons to provide even more synergies and approach the Abyss with a personalised loadout.
  • The new Faith system – devote yourself to a Faith at the beginning of each level in the Abyss 2.0. Modify your playstyle to achieve one-ness with your chosen Faith and grab related rewards in our specialised Faith temples. Or don’t, I’m not your dad.
  • New Superpets! – Hatchmons start young in the Abyss 2.0, but our new system allows them to evolve into more than the sum of their parts! Fuse together different baby Hatchmons to create Superpets which come with their own unique abilities.
  • Upgraded visuals – each level of the Abyss 2.0 now has its own unique theme and style. You might not look at it too much as you’re blasting, slashing and bashing your way through enemies, but it’s there and we worked hard on it, so appreciate it, please.
  • Speedrun Challenges – an optional extra in the Abyss 2.0. Dive in with the regular Abyssal experience, or switch to a time-attack run in both solo and multiplayer. Maybe it DOES make sense to split up, divide and conquer?


We hope that you love the upgraded Abyss 2.0. With this Early Access release, your feedback is critical to how we work on the game. Let us know using the in-game feedback options, or post up in the official Veewo Discord or over on the Steam Community – where you can also find other Agents to squad up with.

Remember, you can also follow us over on social platforms to keep up with new content. We’ll be sharing our roadmap soon, and you can always check out new videos to see what’s out and what’s coming. Keep up with the team on X / Twitter , Tik Tok and YouTube as our primary platforms to stay up to date!

After the Early Access launch, we’ll continue to polish the experience and add fresh content. You can check our the Neon Abyss 2 roadmap whenever you like, using the link on the in-game menu! We'll update this where required, but for now our upcoming additions look a little like this



Right. That’s all from us, Agents. We hope you're having a blast in the Abyss, and we can see loads of you have made serious progress against the New, New Gods. Now, it's time to lock and load, squad up, and let’s ignite the Abyss, once again.
