<p>This is really exciting news for multiplayer fans. One of my favourite local multiplayer experiences was with <em>Nidhogg</em>, which had simplicity in both its aesthetics and gameplay, but was pure addiction when playing it. I&#8217;m excited to say that <em>Nidhogg 2 </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. Above is the announcement trailer which is just a very quick teaser, but very fitting to what I&#8217;d expect from a <em>Nidhogg </em>sequel.</p>

<p>Currently only announced for PC &#8220;&#8230;and maybe some other platforms&#8221; for 2017, <em>Nidhogg 2 </em>looks insane. The visuals are a vast improvement over the first game, but still wield an absurdity that may actually make it more enjoyable to watch. As a spectator, <em>Nidhogg</em>&#8216;s visual simplicity but wacky animations made it a lot of fun just to sit and watch. This looks like it&#8217;ll be fun for a whole other reason. Check out some screenshots below if you&#8217;re not into the whole &#8220;motion video&#8221; thing:</p>

<p>Another notable new addition is the bow and arrow. I&#8217;m curious how much versatility it will have beyond shooting straight. It would be interesting if you could arc the shot to get a kill, which would just add so much salt to any wound. Regardless, <em>Nidhogg 2 </em>looks to be an exciting sequel for fans of the first, and I can&#8217;t wait to see if it lives up to the hype in 2017.</p>
