Guacamelee! 2 Gets Switch, Xbox One Release Dates

Drinkbox Studios has announced that Guacamelee! 2 will be released on Switch Dec. 10 and Xbox One in January 2019.

Switch owners can pre-order Guacamelee! 2 right now at a 10 percent discount. Any Switch owners who also own Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition will receive a deeper 30 percent discount by pre-ordering.

As was announced yesterday, Guacamelee! 2’s first DLC pack, Tree Enimigos, is also now available to be purchased on PlayStation 4 for $2.99 USD. That pack will also be released on Switch and Xbox One as soon as Guacamelee! 2 is available on those respective platforms.

A second DLC pack, Proving Grounds, is launching Dec. 7 for $3.99 USD on PlayStation 4. Though it seems likely that Proving Ground will be available for Switch and Xbox One when Guacamelee! 2 is released for those two consoles, today’s announcement doesn’t confirm one way or the other.

Drinkbox announced in October that it would release Guacamelee! 2 on Switch in December. Guacamelee! 2 was first launched on PlayStation 4 in August, and IGN awarded it a 9.3, calling it “a hilarious, challenging, and rewarding follow-up to Drinkbox’s original.”
