Sony's State of Play event delivered a motherlode of exciting news, ranging from a glimpse of Helldivers 2's gameplay to a confirmation of an expansion for the remake of Resident Evil 4. Sony also used the event to announce the release of a demo version of Ghostrunner 2, with the full release coming soon after.
The announcement was a surprise to everybody who tuned in to the event - we definitely didn't see it coming. Nevertheless, it was a pleasant surprise as it offers fans an opportunity to get a taste of the game ahead of its release next month. Sony announced that the title is now live on the PlayStation 5 but we know that this is also true of the other platforms the game is headed to.
The demo announcement came with a new trailer that shows the protagonist getting an upgrade. From the dialogue, we know we will get a faster, stronger, better equipped, and more vicious Jack than we saw in the first game. Given how strong and fast the original Jack was, we can't help but wonder at what the upgrade will look like.
Ghostrunner 2 is set one year after the events of the original game. Once again, we will see Jack, the protagonist of the first game, take on enemies that stand in the path of his goal. Unlike the first title, Ghostrunner 2 will see Jack leave Dharma Tower for the world outside.
