Rivals 2 is an upcoming platform fighting game that serves as a direct sequel to Rivals of Aether (2017). Unlike its predecessor, it is played in 2.5D and utilizes 3D models—additional mechanics are also added, including the ability to shield and grab, while mechanics such as the parry return from Rivals of Aether.
The game is intended to have improved single-player and casual-oriented content compared to Rivals of Aether, though appealing to competitive players is the primary focus of development—several mechanics were added to make the game feel more familiar to veteran players. The sequel is scheduled for a late 2024 release on "as many platforms" as possible.[1]
