Titled Gal Guardians: Servants of the Dark, the next entry is on the way to PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam. The followup was originally revealed in Septe𓆏mber, promising more 𒊎cooperative action ahead of its Tokyo Game Show appearance later that month. 

This time around, the setting shifts from a single castle to the wider demon world surrounding it. Player characters Kirika and her younger sister M🌸asha each have different abilities, making it essential to switch between them as you explore. In addition to the single-player swapping, online co-op is available for those who would rather explore simu🐼ltaneously with a friend.

Known in Japan as Grim Guardians, the first entry had to change its name in the west due to a legal claim from the owners of fantasy series Grimguard. Whilﷺe the western release is listed as digital-only for now, Japan is getting a physical edition in April. The limited editiꦫon version packs the game with an art book, an acrylic chain, and a two-disc soundtrack CD. 

Fitting for its expanded scope, PQube describes the sequel as a “fully-realized Metroidvania,” complete with the ability to switch between Casual, Veteran, and Legend styles. Kirika and Masha’s sub-weapons and abilities can be used to unlock different routes throughout the world so it should be fun to experiment with exploration when this one launches early next year.
