I’m going to go in depth to compare the similarities I’ve noticed with Freedom Planet 2 and Cuphead’s too soon reveals as well as how both developers have updated their games before their release. Now since we’re in 2018, I’m still waiting for a full release of the sequel to one of my favorite indie games. Its called Freedom Planet 2, a sequel to the Kickstarter funded Freedom Planet that maintains the original’s sense of speed, 2D platforming and focus on combat that was revealed in 2015. There is another indie game that was revealed way back in 2015, but I’m dreading it has a similar Cuphead problem of being revealed way too soon. Yes this game finally came out last year, but it made for a very painful wait for those who were incredibly eager about it. It grabbed everyone by surprise for basically looking like a playable 1930’s cartoon. One game that was often ridiculed for possibly never coming out was Cuphead, which was revealed in an indie sizzle reel at Microsoft’s 2014 E3 conference. It forces an interested customer to wait for years for the final product or giving them doubts about the game coming out at all. It’s a problem because these games tend to be announced way ahead of they’re development schedule and are in a work in progress. ![]() Kingdom Hearts 3 is an example where it got announced 5 years ago, but it is expected to release this year (we’ll see). Normally this is when the publisher and/or the developer makes an announcement for an upcoming game, whether it’s a new IP or a new entry in a series, and the game comes out 3-5 years after its initial reveal. Freedom Planet characters have managed to expand past their own games and may continue to do so in the future.įreedom Planet 2 will release on September 13 for PC and consoles.A recurring problem with video games is that certain games tend to be revealed or announced way too early. Thanks to the initial game's success, Freedom Planet characters have shown up in other indie games as crossovers lead character Sash Lilac has appeared in several games including A Hat in Time, Runbow, and Indie Pogo. The Unity engine allowing for new features like dynamic zoom give the game even more of its own style, cementing Freedom Planet 2 as a modernized, improved take on the original's concepts. The sequel takes on its own style and uses higher-resolution sprites to create more detailed characters and separate itself from the heavily Genesis-inspired style of its predecessor. The characters in the original game, while differentiated, are still somewhat Sonic-like given its origins as a fangame. To differentiate itself from its inspirations, Freedom Planet 2 brings changes to character designs. As such, Freedom Planet 2 has a lot to live up to, but the playable demo that is currently available shows a lot of potential. ![]() The original Freedom Planet was well-received around its release in 2014, and since then it has amassed a dedicated fan following. The change in release date will leave more time to recover as the rest of the team continues finishing the project. ![]() The post from GalaxyTrail lays out the reason why release was pushed back from its earlier estimation of spring 2022, citing testing and certification for console ports and the lead developer unfortunately suffering a hand injury. ![]()
