Skullgirls: 2nd Encore Announced

Skullgirls: 2nd Encore Announced

It was recently announced that Skullgirls , the indie fighting game that raised over 850,000 dollars on Indiegogo, is getting a brand new release on the PS4 called Skullgirls: 2 nd Encore , and it’s way more than a port. Several new features are going to be implemented, including new modes and story content. The full feature list was revealed by Lab Zero’s Peter Bartholow.

Fully-voiced Story Mode

Responding to fan demand, the story modes for Skullgirls 2nd Encore will be fully voiced! Featuring some of anime’s best and brightest, the new voices bring Skullgirls’ deep characters and lore to life.

Challenges

In challenges, players square off against opponents with a variety of unique battle conditions to test their mettle. Can you beat Big Band without jumping? Or defeat triple Doubles?

Trials

Trials test players’ skills by having them to perform combos. Trials are built on a new button-by-button instructional system to make learning combos easier and more intuitive than ever. Furthermore, unlike many fighting game trials, Skullgirls 2nd Encore’s trials include combos frequently used in real play, from basic bread ‘n butter to more advanced combos.

Survival Mode

Skullgirls 2nd Encore’s new Survival Mode pits players against an endless procession of foes – how long can you last? The better you do, the more health you’ll recover between rounds. The longer you last, the harder your foes will become.

Full Platinum Trophy Set

For all the trophy hunters out there, Skullgirls 2nd Encore will have a full Platinum trophy set. The 43 trophies will test players’ mastery of Skullgirls and the new content. Many of the previous trophies are returning, while others have been adjusted based on player feedback.

Cross-Play Across the Entire PlayStation Family

To keep the online community from fragmenting, Skullgirls 2nd Encore supports cross-play across all three PlayStation platforms: PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita!

PlayStation 4 Version: PlayStation 3 Peripheral Support

Skullgirls 2nd Encore will support PlayStation 3 fight sticks on the PlayStation 4, thanks to the excellent work of our friend John “Cowboy” Bellomy. Just plug in your old stick and play!

As of now, these changes are not scheduled to be released on the PC or any other version of the game, but Lab Zero is exploring the possibility of bringing this content to other platforms, at the very least the PC where it has been running it’s Endless Beta for the past two years.
