Prepare to Duel Again in Nidhogg 2

<p>This is really exciting news for multiplayer fans&period; One of my favourite local multiplayer experiences was with <em>Nidhogg<&sol;em>&comma; which had simplicity in both its aesthetics and gameplay&comma; but was pure addiction when playing it&period; I&&num;8217&semi;m excited to say that <em>Nidhogg 2 <&sol;em>looks to be the same kind of carnage but with even more of a push into the zaniness that was present in the original&period; Above is the announcement trailer which is just a very quick teaser&comma; but very fitting to what I&&num;8217&semi;d expect from a <em>Nidhogg <&sol;em>sequel&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><amp-youtube layout&equals;"responsive" width&equals;"500" height&equals;"281" data-videoid&equals;"bs8W4hIvTlY" title&equals;"Nidhogg 2 Teaser"><a placeholder href&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;www&period;youtube&period;com&sol;watch&quest;v&equals;bs8W4hIvTlY"><img src&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;i&period;ytimg&period;com&sol;vi&sol;bs8W4hIvTlY&sol;hqdefault&period;jpg" layout&equals;"fill" object-fit&equals;"cover" alt&equals;"Nidhogg 2 Teaser"><&sol;a><&sol;amp-youtube><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Currently only announced for PC &&num;8220&semi;&&num;8230&semi;and maybe some other platforms&&num;8221&semi;
