Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2‘s official release date is November 3, as announced by the game’s Twitter page on Tuesday. You can now wishlist the platform fighter on Steam, and digital pre-orders will go live in October.
This out-of-the-blue announcement for the Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 release date does not mention any special editions. However, we know the game’s content-packed already. The sequel adds a new roguelike single-player campaign: you’ll be fighting Danny Phantom villain Vlad Plasmius as you explore the Nickelodeon universe. Furthermore, the Steam page shows bosses like SpongeBob Squarepants‘ King Jellyfish, and the presentation overall looks inspired by the World of Light mode from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
On the same Steam page, publisher GameMill Entertainment claims “Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2’s roster is better than ever, with even more variety in how each unique character plays,” Some characters like Helga seem to be cut while newer entrants like Squidward and Jimmy Neutron take center stage. Fo those that made it, every character is getting a revamped moveset in Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2. The visuals and audio have also been improved with “new animations, modes, stages, mechanics, [and] taunts.” Similar to Super Smash Bros. Brawl, this follow-up introduces new supers for each character as well.
These new features may improve the review score for the game. The original currently has a middling 63-71 Metacritic rating, based on the platform.
Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 heads for the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Nintendo Switch, and PC on November 3.
