Beta release planned for 2017

Freedom Planet 2is a thing that’s happening, indie developerGalaxyTrailhas announced.

As the follow-up to what began aSonic the Hedgehogfan game, “Freedom Planet 2is all about advancing and evolving our style into something truly distinguishable,” GalaxyTrail says.

“The originalFreedom Planetwas modeled as a tribute to Sega Genesis platform games. We’ve learned what works and what doesn’t, what’s fun and what’s frustrating, what we should expand on and what we can afford to lose. With all of this in mind, we feel that we are ready to bid farewell to nostalgia and create a sequel that will defineFreedom Planet‘s identity as a franchise.”
