Buckshot Software and Retrovibe has announced that '90s-style FPS Project Warlock 2 is available now on PC in Early Access via Steam and GOG.
Revealed at IGN Expo, a new trailer showed a rapid-pace glimpse of the content available during Project Warlock 2's Early Access version. This smaller slice of the full game contains six levels that Buckshot Software describes as being up to 10 times bigger than any level in the original Project Warlock. Each level is a multi-floor structure with platforms and buildings that add a new layer of verticality to the run-and-gun gameplay.
Project Warlock 2 is inspired by the likes of Quake and Doom 64, and features an arsenal of upgradable weapons including swords, guns, magic staffs, cannons, and a range of special skills. The Early Access version will begin with playable warlock Palmer, but he's just the first of three characters. In the coming months, chapters featuring warlocks Urd and Kirsten will be added.
Buckshot Software expects Project Warlock 2 to be in Early Access for about a year, with player feedback from this first chapter being used to refine the gameplay and help develop the remaining two chapters.
