Cornfox & Bros. is turning itsOceanhornaction-adventure property into a series.
The sequel,Oceanhorn 2: Knights of the Lost Realm, “will be built upon the same elements that were the heart and soul of the firstOceanhorngame: exploring a colorful world, a deep backstory with secrets and twists, amazing music, and most importantly – classic Action RPG gameplay with items, puzzles, battles, and badass bosses!” The developers call it “the fulfillment of a JRPG dream.”
What all has changed? There’s a new hero and camera perspective (a closer-in third-person view), and while you’re roaming the world map or dungeon hopping, you’ll have a gun that shoots magical projectiles, helpful for solving environmental puzzles or “luring enemies and casting directed spells.”
This sequel announcement made me seek out the first game,Oceanhorn: Monster of Uncharted Seas, and now I’m wondering how the heck I missed it. (Whatever you do, don’t tell Darren!) It’s an isometric take on the classicZeldagames with a bit ofWind Wakersailing on top. Unoriginal, but pretty neat all the same. And it’s about to come to Xbox One and PlayStation 4 on July 12, 2025.
I think I prefer the wayOceanhorn 2looks, but I’ll have to check out these new ports ofOceanhorn.
