Axiom Verge 2 Delayed to 2021 | Game Rant

Back in late 2019, a Nintendo Direct revealed to the world that Axiom Verge 2 was in development. The trailer for the game boldly claimed that Axiom Verge 2 was going to release during fall 2020, but that is no longer the case.

Ultimately, fans of Axiom Verge will have to wait until the first half of 2021 to get their hands on the sequel. There are a number of games coming out for the Nintendo Switch in 2020, but Axiom Verge 2 will no longer be one of them.

There are two core reasons why Axiom Verge 2 is being pushed back until 2021. Firstly, is how complicated the game is compared to the original. Thomas Happ, the developer of Axiom Verge 2, said in a blog post that compared to the original, the sequel is much more complicated to develop.

This includes enemies for Axiom Verge 2. In the original Axiom Verge, enemies move on a set path while in the sequel, enemies use a detection system. Once an enemy finds a player in the sequel, they will chase them, which is far more complicated to develop rather compared to giving enemies a set path to follow. The environment is also much more detailed than the original, as it was designed to be blockier while the sequel will have a more vibrant and detailed world to explore.

On top of development complications, the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic is also partly to blame for the delay. Axiom Verge 2 was announced in December of 2019, before the world really knew about COVID-19. The pandemic has been affecting Thomas Happ personally, as his young son, who is in preschool, has been frustrated with being unable to have in-person contact with his friends.

Despite the delay, things still look good for Axiom Verge 2. The developer has commented in the past that the Legend of Zelda series will a big inspiration for his game, and with how popular the original Axiom Verge was, the future seems bright for the sequel.

Axiom Verge 2 will be available for the Nintendo Switch in early 2021.
