<p>R-Type is one of the longest-running series in gaming, on par with legends like <a href="https://bagogames.com/the-top-five-super-mario-games/">Mario</a> and Zelda. The battle against the Bydo empire might have started in the arcades and on home systems in the 80s, but it continues to this day. R-Type Final 2 will be the latest installment in the popular shooter franchise.</p>
<p>NIS America announced that R-Type Final 2 is coming to PC and consoles on April 30. A mere day after its Japanese release. The console releases include PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch. The title has spent a long time in development, so it&#8217;s pretty exciting to finally see it released!</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">A Series Celebration</h3>
<p>R-Type Final 2 will contain everything that&#8217;s made the series so iconic and beloved. As with Final 1, it will include a <a href="https://rtypefinal2.com/player-ships/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">number of spacecraft to choose from</a>, all with different stats and abilities. You can even customize these ships with different colors and decal images!</p>
<p>With the improved graphics and intense soundtrack, the game looks to be a feast for the eyes and ears. That&#8217;s not even mentioning the included myriad of gameplay modes to choose from.</p>
<p>The game was <a href="https://bagogames.com/r-type-final-2-is-coming-to-pc-and-consoles-in-spring-2021/">crowdfunded</a>, with its third crowdfunding campaign ending successfully on October 27 2020. So far the project has raised $<span class="u-font-bold u-font-xxl u-font-yellow">1,260,485 in total, with <span class="u-font-bold u-font-xxl">11146 people backing the game.</span></span></p>
<p>If you&#8217;re a particularly dedicated fan and missed the crowdfunding, you might wanna check out the <a href="https://store.nisamerica.com/r-type-final-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">R-Type Final 2 Limited Edition</a> on NIS America&#8217;s online store. This version of the game includes a soundtrack CD, an artwork book, a metal R-9A model, &#8220;33rd Anniversary Pilot&#8221; dog tag, and the game. The collector&#8217;s box edition is only available for PS4, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox One/Series X.</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">A Long Time Coming</h3>
<p>It is a little ironic we&#8217;re getting this game, considering Final was intended to be the final game in the series. Obviously, that was not the case. And given the success of the crowdfunding campaign, it&#8217;s obvious fans are hungry to continue the fight against the Bydo empire.</p>
