We recently learned quite a bit about Skullgirls 2nd Encore, the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita port of Lab Zero Games’ indie fighter. While fans won’t be treated to a free upgrade if they own an older version, these upcoming releases will feature cross-buy (meaning a purchase of the console title will net you the handheld one and vice versa) and cross-platform netplay, allowing even those on PlayStation 3 to enjoy the influx of new players.
But that’s not all. Earlier today, the developers updated the game’s official website with a listing of all the new features included in Skullgirls 2nd Encore. The most noteworthy in an aesthetic sense is certainly the fully-voiced story, but Lab Zero is also looking to make great strides with a brand new trial mode.
Unlike other games, which often throw somewhat obscure concepts and strings at players, Skullgirls’ trials will incorporate competition-ready combos, from basic bread and butters to more complex fare, in an effort to work newcomers into the fold gradually with useful information.
All in all, Skullgirls 2nd Encore is shaping up to be a worthy addition to the franchise’s tumultuous timeline. More details on the port’s new content can be found by following the link below.
