Axiom Verge 2 out on Switch now

Having originally been scheduled for 2020, you can forgive Tom Happ the extra time to innovate and polish on one of the finest Metroid games ever produced. Axiom Verge got a sneak release yesterday digitally, with the inevitable Limited Run LE editions to follow in October (note the double-pack if you couldn't get a boxed copy of the original).

Axiom Verge 2 trades in the firepower and weapons of the first game for more melee action in this one, and instead of hacking the scenery, a two-worlds-in-play mechanic sees the heroine switching between worlds to solve puzzles and create access to the other.
