Month: October 2015

Well, this is certainly a surprise: indie darling Skullgirls has a sequel!

SkullGirls 2: Deadly Airport quietly arrived on iTunes earlier this month, bringing the unique action of its predecessor to iOS. An interesting route for Lab Zero, to be sure, but it appears as if they may have farmed this sequel out to another indie developer by the name of Nguyen Hiep, who is likely well-versed in this kind of mobile release.

But this isn’t a mere follow-up. SkullGirls 2: Dangerous Airstrip acts as a crossover of sorts with Capcom’s popular Street Fighter series. Gone are newcomers Cerebella, Peacock, and Ms. Fortune, replaced by fan favorites like Poison, Hugo, and Alex. Additionally, players are able able to dish out punishment with fatalities a la Mortal Kombat, and Art of Fighting 2’s airport stage even makes an appearance. Come to think of it, this may be the most ambitious crossover of all time.

Don’t just take my word for it; check out the beautiful screens below.
