Sharpen your swords and get ready to ruin your enemies in gloriously stupid fashion, because GORN 2 is out now.

The ludicrously violent VR gladiator simulator from our new partners at Cortopia, working alongside original series creators Free Lives, returns with even more absurdity, letting you smash, stab, decapitate, and generally dismember your way through the celestial afterlife where the souls of all the gladiators you slaughtered in the first game now dwell—and kill them again.

Discover new weapons, new arenas, new traps, new enemies, and new bosses as you raise Hell in the heavens and prove your battle prowess before an army of terrifying foes.

That's right, GORN 2 is really happening!

Many of us at Cortopia were big fans of GORN, so we reached out to Devolver and Free Lives with a pitch for a sequel. Not only were they gracious enough to hear us out, but they ended up publishing the game and helping us with development, and it’s been a pleasure working with them.

Our goal with GORN 2 was simple: focus on maximizing fun. We amplified all the things that made GORN great, removed some of the annoyances, built five unique worlds, added actual boss fights, and implemented modern VR conveniences. But most importantly, we made a ton of unique traps, weapons, hazards, creatures, and contraptions to provide endless opportunities for creativity and chaos. The result is an immersive escape from reality, where you’re guaranteed to feel like a badass and have a lot of good laughs.

Inspired by the modern VR combat games out there, we wanted to take all of the over-the-top destruction, humor and general absurdity that makes GORN so unique and charming, crank that up to eleven and match it with really tight combat, weapons, hazards and powerups, all at your disposal to live out your best destructive gladiator fantasy.

Oh, and did we mention our crowds of up to over 800 rokibe? All excitedly watching, waiting to see you fall... OR see you become the champion of the arena!

If it’s as much fun to play as it was to make, you’ll have a fantastic time.
