Publisher 505 Games has shared the official Ghostrunner 2 release date and start time countdown, and fans can enter the sci-fi dystopia very soon. In fact, if you’re willing to pay extra, you can play early access right now.
In our Ghostrunner 2 review, we gave the game a fantastic 9/10. We were especially positive towards the biggest addition which is the motorbike, and we also loved the one-hit deaths and gorgeous dystopian visuals. If you’re planning to play the sequel, we have shared tips and tricks in a beginner’s guide, and we have also ranked the best Ultimates in the game.
