History VideoGame / FreedomPlanet2

The core gameplay will carry over from the original, albeit streamlined. The main trio have gotten redesigned, now sporting an older look, have all undergone training in the years since the last game to improve upon their abilities. They now all have the ability to block attacks, something only Milla in the original game was capable of while the other two had to abuse abilities with invincibility frames to do, and they now have the ability to spend an amount of excess extra lives to revive on the spot instead of having to do things over from the last checkpoint. Considering [[EasyLevelsHardBosses how sadistic bosses in the last game could get]], these were very well welcomed additions.

The first official trailer for the game can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHAYtSUfW0c here]]. Check the website [[http://www.freedomplanet2.com/ here]].

* NostalgiaLevel: [[DeathMountain Dragon]] [[TheLostWoods Valley]] is comfirmed to return to this game, with a remixed theme to go with it.

While no release date for the game has been announced yet, it has been confirmed that PC, Mac, and Linux versions will be released sometime in the future, with a release on a Nintendo platform[[note]]Note how they specified "Nintendo Platform". This likely means, depending on when it's released, a version for their next console, the NX, is highly likely[[/note]] following sometime after.

---> ''Do you remember what you began? You came to this world uninvited... you breathed in the sound of our screams... and out the flames of war. You watched us burn and buried the ashes... but I am the final ember! The world you saved will soon be purified! Just as you wished... magister... and all that will remain... are monsters.''

** Merga, who was released from her crystal prison thanks to the events of the [[VideoGame/FreedomPlanet previous game]].

* DerivativeDifferentiation: Taken a step further than the last game. One of the stated goals of the development team is to break the franchise away from its UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis and ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog''-inspired nostalgic roots to make the game a proper franchise in its own right. In terms of visual design, Lilac's outfit is now primarily white (albeit with blue accents) to separate her from Sonic visually.
* DifficultyLevels: Now sports a more in-depth version of this. There's still the time standard easy-HarderThanHard difficulties, but throughout the game, players can find gold gems or fuse their normal gems together into a gold one which makes the game easier, such as making bosses deal less damage, adding more lives, etc.

** With the BigBad being a water dragon, there's a high chance she'll be this to Lilac.

* NostalgiaLevel: Dragon Valley will be making a comeback, with a remixed theme to go with it.

* TimeSkip: The game takes place a currently-unspecified amount of time after the original(Possibly two years later). The first teaser shows the heroic trio sporting much more mature appearances. Concept and promotional art also shows that Milla, especially, has learned to harness her powers more effectively.

** As for the BigBad of the previous game, WordOfGod has stated that Lord Brevon is completely absent here, due to cutting his losses and fleeing Avalice after his defeat, as getting off the planet was what he wanted to begin with, sans Kingdom Stone. He'd rather get back to his empire rather than continue dealing with Lilac and friends, especially after they kept causing him so much trouble.

* MeaninglessLives: Rather [[AvertedTrope averted]]. A gameover will force the player to start the level over again. If the player has an excess of lives, they can spend an additional number of them to revive on the spot instead of from the last checkpoint, meaning a stockpile of extras can be as valuable as a few of them. Of course, this only applies [[NoKillLikeOverkill if there's a body to revive]].

* PutOnABus: So far neither Torque nor Lord Brevon have been seen.
