It looked impressive, and fans were certainly eager where the game's story could head, but even as of just a couple of months ago, we were still only getting the occasional update with no news concerning a release date. How long would we have to wait? When would we be able to explo-oh hey, look, Axiom Verge 2 is out today.

In addition to the Switch version, Axiom Verge 2 will also arrive for the PS4 and PC (via the Epic Games Store) today as well.
