Player demand briefly overwhelmed major digital stores during the global rollout.

Overview

  • Steam, Nintendo eShop and PlayStation Store saw partial outages for several hours that blocked some purchases and downloads during release day.
  • Within 24 hours, the game climbed into Steam’s best‑seller ranks and trended broadly on social media.
  • The sequel is available on PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series, Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, and PC.
  • Priced at about $20/€19.99, the launch also saw a short‑lived Microsoft Store Argentina error that listed the game for ARS 284 before being corrected.
  • Early guides highlight a locked starting map that unlocks by finding Shakra, Rosaries as the main currency, recoverable losses after death via a white cocoon, and a new downward bounce attack for traversal.
