Soldner-X Sequel Announced

A sequel to one of the hardest shmups on the PS3 will get a sequel this winter, says publisher Eastasiasoft. The Hong Kong based publisher today revealed that the new game will be called Söldner-X 2: Final Prototype. The first game was much loved by shooter fans for its intense gameplay and gorgeous graphics. The developer, Sidequest Studios, says that the new game will be even better.

In Söldner-X 2: Final Prototype, you will return to Gota IV as part of the Söldner-X defense force. Mankind will once more rely on your battle against new mysterious powers. Staged across seven unique and challenging levels accompanied with an original soundtrack, Söldner-X 2: Final Prototype combines traditional 2D gameplay with detailed high definition graphics and a blend of fresh innovations.

"We received an amazing feedback upon the launch of Söldner-X: Himmelsstürmer, which has encouraged the whole team to work on a sequel", said Marcus Pukropski, CEO of SideQuest Studios. "With Söldner-X 2, our main goal is to please fans of the first part as well as new gamers alike. I am especially excited about the introduction of a new dynamic score-linked difficulty mode, which adjusts to the skills of each individual player."

That sounds like just the ticket for people like us, who were dominated by the insane difficulty level of the first release.
