According to GameMill,All-Star Brawl2 will ship with new SUPER abilities, updated mechanics, and new offensive and defensive options. The publisher promises “a fresh new take on platform fighting gameplay” and that it will include a single-player campaign that incorporates rogue-like mechanics into an original story. While the newAll-Star Brawlwill also feature minigames, boss rush, and a new arcade mode, other additions like full crossplay for all platforms and improved graphics should entice players all the same. While an exact release date hasn’t been specified yet,All-Star Brawl2 is scheduled to release later this year on Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
As of now,All-Star Brawl2’s roster includes characters like Spongebob, Squidward, Rocko, Jenny, Zim, Reptar, and Garfield on its official website. Of course, the full roster is bound to feature a wider plethora of characters from its own franchises with previousAll-Star Brawl2 leakssuggesting that the likes of El Tigre and Vlad Plasmius fromDanny Phantomare also set to appear. If the announcement trailer is anything to go by, GameMill’s upcoming platform brawler won’t have any shortage of familiar characters and the publisher will likely follow up with more announcements in the coming months.
Interestingly, Nickelodeon isn’t the only universe GameMill has set its eyes on at the moment.
