Gravity Circuit 2 Announced for PC, Switch 2, and PS5 With a 2027 Release Window
Dear Villagers and Finnish indie studio Domesticated Ant Games have officially announced Gravity Circuit 2, the sequel to the acclaimed retro-inspired 2D action platformer. The game is currently in development for Windows PC through Steam and the Epic Games Store, as well as Nintendo Switch 2 and PlayStation 5. It is planned for release in 2027.
Gravity Circuit 2 continues the story after the Circuits had finally found peace. For a time, the skies were calm, but that peace is shattered when a mysterious new Ark appears, bringing with it the dangerous Hunter Army. Kai, the Gravity Circuit, is once again pulled into battle against a powerful invading force that seems nearly impossible to stop.
This time, however, Kai will not be fighting alone. He is joined by Cable, the Power Circuit, giving players two distinct heroes to master. Together, they may be the only hope against the new threat.
The sequel builds on the fast, stylish, and energetic platforming of the original game while adding more variety through two playable characters. Kai returns with his familiar close-range combat style, using powerful punches, quick movement, and hookshot-based grappling to tear through enemies at high speed. Cable offers a different approach, focusing on long-range attacks, aerial mobility, and the ability to turn defeated enemies into scrap that can be used as ammunition.
Both characters play through the same campaign, but each stage will feel different depending on which Circuit you choose. Players can switch between Kai and Cable at the new HQ hub area, allowing them to take on missions with the combat style that best fits their preferences.
Gravity Circuit 2 also expands customization with a deeper loadout system. Players can earn new abilities from bosses by equipping Circuit Shards, stack Booster Chips to enhance their strengths, and equip up to four Burst Techniques for powerful finishing moves. With 30 Booster Chips and 40 Burst Techniques available, the game is designed to let players shape their own combat style.
Exploration will also play a major role. Each stage is packed with hidden collectibles, including health boosters, burst boosters, crystal fragments, and civilians waiting to be rescued. Players can rush through the action-heavy levels or take their time searching every corner for secrets and upgrades.
The game will feature more than a dozen stages, including eight Hunter Circuit bosses, each with a dedicated stage and unique combat style. Locations include a water processing plant, an artificial forest, a weather control tower, and a haunted theater, with each area bringing its own mechanics, hazards, gimmicks, and boss encounters.
A new hub HQ area will give players a place to interact with NPCs, visit vendors, train, prepare for missions, and even listen to music through a jukebox. The soundtrack is once again being handled by Dominic Ninmark, promising energetic music to match the game’s high-speed action.
Domesticated Ant Games, founded in Finland in 2021, remains a small independent studio built by fans of the genre. After creating the original Gravity Circuit with support from Dominic Ninmark and several collaborators, the team is now aiming to deliver a bigger, faster, and more flexible sequel.
With two playable characters, expanded customization, hidden collectibles, varied stages, intense boss fights, and a soundtrack designed to keep the momentum high, Gravity Circuit 2 is shaping up to be an exciting follow-up for fans of retro 2D platformers and action-packed side-scrolling adventures. The game is scheduled to launch in 2027 for PC, Switch 2, and PS5.
