- The return of the million-selling party game, even bigger laughter with online multiplayer
- First online support in the series… A chaotic space adventure to enjoy with friends around the world
Global indie game publisher Devolver Digital announced that it will release Heave Ho 2, a new party game from French developer Le Cartel, on PC, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2 on July 16.
‘Heave Ho 2’ is the official sequel to the cooperative party game Heave Ho, which recorded cumulative sales of approximately 1 million copies. The original game was loved by many users and is considered one of the best-selling titles among Devolver Digital’s Nintendo Switch releases.
This title is a slapstick party game that supports cooperative and competitive modes for 2 to 4 players. Players embark on adventures set in a total of eight unique themed worlds, including zero-gravity space, a chaotic kitchen, a medieval battlefield, and a ninja village. The core fun of the game lies in the unpredictable situations that unfold as players hold hands to overcome obstacles or sometimes drop friends into the abyss.
In particular, the introduction of online cooperative and competitive play for the first time in the series is noteworthy. While previous titles emphasized the fun of local multiplayer enjoyed together in the living room, this time you can play and laugh and chat with friends far away. Additionally, various new items such as pop guns, sauce bottles, levers, keys, and drones have been added, creating even more diverse variables.
The Nintendo Switch 2 version also supports the GameShare feature. This increases multiplayer accessibility, allowing one player who owns the game to play with up to three other users locally or online.
Currently, a PC demo version supporting online and local co-op play is also available on Steam, allowing you to experience the game before its official release.
Meanwhile, ‘Heave Ho 2’ is scheduled to be released on July 16 for PC, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2, with the domestic retail price set at 10,500 won. More detailed information can be found on the official Heave Ho 2 website and Devolver Digital Korea X.
