Check out the new Monstrum 2 launch trailer below before we jump into additional details:
Monstrum 2 is the second game in the franchise, and it builds upon the success of the first title in the franchise. The game was originally released in early access back in January 2021 and since then, the developer has been working on the title with new additions and overall improvements. Monstrum 2 takes a different direction as compared to the first game in the franchise by going along the lines of an asymmetrical survival horror where one player controls the monster while four others try to survive and escape from a locked facility by solving various puzzles.
Monstrum 2 is set in the decrepit research facility called Sparrowlock, a procedural Sea Fortress in the depths of murky waters. The Monstrums in the game are failed sea experiments with a strong bloodlust and the survivors are normal humans who were prisoners at the facility, and they got lucky as the facility was destroyed before they could be experimented upon. Now the survivors must escape the facility and the Monstrums must try their best to keep the secrets of the facility inside it while satisfying their bloodlust at the same time.
Key features of the game include:
- Escape Sparrowlock, a procedural Sea Fortress – Trapped within a sea labyrinth, navigate through the rusted Hong-Sha Miller research facility in a bid to evacuate and escape the clutches of the Monstrum, relentless and determined to hunt you down!
- Plan your escape, 4v1 player-vs-player style! – As a prisoner, you’ll have nothing but your wits and the safety of up to 3 other inmates. Scavenge for items across the Sea Fortress and use tools at your own disposal to overcome obstacles. Solve puzzles and complete unique gameplay challenges in order to progress your departure, together! Customize your prisoner with unlockable skins and accessories.
- Out of sight, out of mind! – Use stealth to your advantage as you evade the predator by utilizing hiding spots, but be wary of traps as they endeavor to give away your position. If spotted, running is your best option; prepare to narrowly escape with your life!
- Manifest your inner Monstrum – Join the thrill of the hunt and play as a variety of different monsters, each with distinctive playstyles. Ambush and stalk your prey as The Bhagra, brutalize your victims through raw strength as the Brute and haunt your prisoners as the malevolent Malacosm. Each can also be customized with various unlockable skins and accessories.
