Rivals 2 is the sequel to our hit indie fighting game, Rivals of Aether. We've been working on this game behind the scenes for the last 3 years and need your help to get it across the finish line. With Rivals 2 our goal is to create the next generation of platform fighter. One that both satisfies the masters of the genre and is fun to play for newcomers. Rivals 2 is taking all of the lessons we learned with Rivals of Aether, and expanding our horizons with new modes, mechanics, and even better online support.

At its heart, Rivals 2 is a multiplayer brawler where our unique character designs and fast-paced gameplay shines. Choose your own Rival to bring onto the battlefield, and harness the powers of the classical elements and animal movement to clobber your friends.

Rivals 2 is designed to be played both online and locally with a ton of content for competitive and casual players alike. Style on your opponents in style with skins and other cool cosmetics to customize your look. Here’s what’s new in Rivals 2.

The story in the Aether games has been building for nearly a decade now. This original universe is set in the world of Aether, where warring civilizations harness the power of the elements. The world of Aether is a world of strife. But has it always been that way? Through our games, we have explored the history of Aether and the neverending battles that reshape the planet.

Rivals 2 is a continuation of all the story-telling we have done thus far, including Rivals of Aether, Dungeons of Aether and our digital comic, Tales of Aether. The events at the end of Rivals 1 left some of our greatest heroes lost and stranded in the darkness known as the Abyss. In Rivals 2, we’ll see if these lost heroes and the rest of Aether are able to pick up the pieces as they uncover more truths about their home world.

After our core versus and online modes are complete, our next focus for Rivals 2 is going to be a completely overhauled Story Mode. We’re working to create an awesome platforming experience that appeals to a variety of players. It will teach mechanics for new players, have skillful puzzle platforming for veterans, and tell an engaging story for fans of Aether.

Our goal is to continue expanding the story as we release new chapters of Story Mode throughout the lifespan of Rivals 2. Right now, we're planning to release Chapter 1 of Story Mode during the first year after launch.
