In 2014, Inti Creates released the side-scrolling action game, Azure Striker Gunvolt, on Nintendo 3DS. The game follows the titular hero, Gunvolt, on his various adventures as he tries to expose an evil corporation. Upon release, the series was a massive hit and only after a year, the sequel was announced.
Two years following the release of the first game, Azure Striker Gunvolt 2 was released for the 3DS, featuring Gunvolt's rival Copen as a brand new, playable character. The sequel was another hit, and in the same year as the release, a new anime was also set to be released.
The anime adaption of the game released, in 2017, on the Nintendo eShop. Since then, the games have seen various releases, including an Azure Striker Gunvolt Striker Pack, which includes both game releases. Not long after that, the games have been released on Switch and PS4 in both Japan and North America.
One of the many questions that have been asked is when there will be a PC release for at least one of the games. Well, in recent news from the Inti Creates official Twitter, it looks like Azure Striker Gunvolt 2 will receive a PC release on Steam!
As of now, it looks like the sequel will be gearing up for a summer release for PC users. Hopefully, this means that there could be more sequels in the future! Make sure to share your thoughts on the reveal in the comments!
