Grime II Coming To PS5 and Xbox Series

Publisher Kwalee and developer Clover Bite have announced that the surreal Metroidvania sequel GRIME II will officially launch on March 31, 2026.

The upcoming title is scheduled to arrive on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles simultaneously with its previously confirmed PC release via Steam.

This sequel follows the success of the original 2021 action adventure, which gained a dedicated following for its unique dark fantasy world and challenging combat mechanics.

Players take on the role of a Formless, an art mimic capable of absorbing defeated enemies and summoning molds to replicate their shapes and abilities.

The journey leads through a new land within the GRIME universe, featuring bizarre environments such as locations constructed from giant vases and painted nails.

Combat emphasizes a strategic parry and grasp system where players use hand-tendrils to absorb foes and learn their forms for use in battle or exploration.

The experience offers significant depth for customization with a library of over 30 weapons, 20 armor sets, and more than 40 unique abilities.

Environmental interaction plays a major role as players must use their surroundings to damage enemies while remaining cautious of similar hazards used against them.

A brand new console announcement trailer has been released to showcase the evolved gameplay and mysterious civilizations that inhabit this unsettling world.

Prospective players can anticipate the full release of this artistic and grotesque adventure across all major platforms on March 31, 2026.
