“I’ve dreamed of making Teslagrad 2 for years. The story, gameplay and mechanics have been brewing in my head since we released the original, and it’s an awesome feeling to see that dream come true.
We had the opportunity to interview Rain Games about this exciting project during Gamescom Cologne, so we’ll be able to bring you the latest on Metroidvania, an update that promises to break new ground in the genre soon.
