‘Ghostrunner 2’ Closed Beta Signups Now Open, New “Previously on ‘Ghostrunner’” Video Released [Watch]
Ahead of the release of Ghostrunner 2 later this year, developer One More Level is giving fans a chance to check out the game early via a closed beta. The signups for the beta are now open, which you can access here.
In addition to the beta signups, but One More Level and publisher 505 Games have a big news reveal for Ghostrunner 2 fans ahead of Gamescom this year, with the announcement happening on August 21. In the meantime, for those who need a recap of what happened in Ghostrunner, One More Level has released a new video. Do note that the video below does contain spoilers.
Set one year after the original critically acclaimed Ghostrunner when cyber ninja protagonist Jack escaped Dharma Tower, Ghostrunner 2 explores the wasteland beyond. Featuring intense fast-paced-push-forward combat and its signature challenging gameplay, the sequel ups the ante from the original by introducing vehicular combat as Jack takes to the wastelands on his new motorcycle.
Along with the new motorcycle comes new powers, upgradeable abilities and traversal mechanics. Enemies in Ghostrunner 2 behave uniquely dependent on the skills used against them, providing a fresh challenge with each encounter. The player progression system has been completely redone, providing opportunities to experiment and customize gameplay.
Ghostrunner 2 is due out for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store in 2023.

Upcoming “Willy Wonka Meets BioShock” FPS ‘Twisted Tower’ Launches on August 18 [Trailer]
After dropping a demo last year for their upcoming “BioShock Meets Disneyland” horror title Twisted Tower, developer Atmos Games has announced an August 18th release date for the game, complete with a brand new trailer. While the demo is no longer available, you can, however sign up for the Playtest from the official Steam page.
Blast your way through an abandoned 1950s theme park, the eponymous Twisted Tower, crawling with fairy-tale mascots, twisted puzzles, and deadly traps. Uncover the dark secrets of your past as you race to the top to win the prize and the love of your life. It’s been decades since there’s been a single guest, but the park’s silly mascots will certainly be ready to accommodate you with expert fashion. They’ve been cooped up for years, so they may be looking for a hug.
Choose from dozens of unique paths up the cozy halls of the park castle as you explore its five areas. Sporting “punchy, bloody gunplay”, you can upgrade a slew of deadly weapons ranging from a whack-a-mole mallet to a skull-poppin’ ray gun, and gain new abilities as you climb your way up the tower to win a heaping pile of money and the hand of your childhood sweetheart, Charlotte.
