LOS ANGELES (Feb. 19, 2025) – Big Fan, a Devolver Digital publishing label, and developer Shiny Shoe (Monster Train) today revealed Monster Train 2, a full-scope sequel to the deckbuilding series’ celebrated, 1.5 million+ selling debut. Since waiting to play Monster Train 2 would be a hellish punishment, its surprise first demo is also available right now on PC (Steam) ahead of the full game leaving the station later this year to launch on PC, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch and Xbox Series X|S.
Monster Train 2 cleverly builds on the original’s innovative, vertical three-floor battle system for a new epic challenge revealed in today’s announcement trailer: stopping the impossibly powerful Titans from destroying this world. The only hope lies solely with a once-unthinkable allegiance between the forces of Heaven and Hell. Prepare for a fun yet fiendish journey into the homeworld of the Titans, the Abyss. Monster Train 2 pushes your ability to adapt to the fight at hand, and to outwit armies of seemingly unstoppable foes as it takes you from the depths of Hell from the original game and throws you into surprising new environments that await beyond the Gates of Heaven:
Wage war against devious new enemy Factions by guiding five all-new playable Clans, each with their own strategic advantages empowering alternative battle styles. Shiny Shoe has shuffled hundreds of new and familiar cards into Monster Train 2, including the debut of additional card types; Room Cards supply powerful boosts to a single floor of the train, Equipment Cards stack new powers onto individual units, and fan-favorite Clan-agnostic Neutral Cards offer massive opportunities that can turn a dire tide. New unit abilities have been added to the sequel, allowing the player to activate an ability at their choosing which gives a strategic advantage when used at opportune times. Experimentation is both rewarding and crucial for realizing the astonishing depth of Monster Train 2’s combat.
Monster Train 2’s locomotive-sized trove of additions includes new buff-granting train customization, an Endless Mode, Daily and Dimensional challenges, run mutators, leaderboards and more. Combined with an immense array of cards to build unstoppable decks and synergies with, Monster Train 2’s robust features ensure newcomers and experienced strategists alike are in for a tense new fight brimming with possibility, excitement and deadly discovery.
