Might and Delight has announced Shelter 2, a sequel to last year’s obscure badger survival title due for release on PC this autumn.
Shelter 2 puts players in the role of a mother lynx who must nurture and protect her cubs from predators scouring the game’s vast open world, and which promises “more elaborate gameplay features” over the original, including jumping, cub carrying and different types of prey to kill.
“The essence of Shelter as a concept is keeping your family alive. But we have decided to let the animal itself set the pace and character of the gameplay,” says Might and Delight CEO Anders Westin. “The badger translated into a slow and linear journey – with the lynx however, Shelter 2 will become a much more forceful experience, where improving your techniques for hunting prey takes a much bigger role.”
Might and Delight also promises “reinvented” visuals and a unique “abstract mood” similar to that found in the original game.
“The beauty of nature goes hand in hand with its unforgiving rawness,” adds Westin. “That is central in Shelter 2, and one of the reasons we chose to make a game about a Lynx. They are in middle of the food chain, and there are far more vicious things out on the cold tundra…”
Shelter 2 hits Steam, GOG and other digital platforms this autumn. For the first trailer take a look below.
