GORN 2, the sequel to the chaotic virtual reality gladiator simulator GORN, is now available on Meta Quest and SteamVR, with a PlayStation VR2 release planned for later in 2025. The title marks a new chapter for the franchise, developed by Cortopia in collaboration with original creators Free Lives.
Built on the foundation of its predecessor, GORN 2 seeks to expand the original GORN experience with a new setting and a wider array of content. Players are transported to the afterlife – a heavenly realm inhabited by the souls of the gladiators defeated in the first game. Here, they must face them once again in increasingly violent and exaggerated combat. New arenas, weapons, traps, and bosses await as players prove themselves against an army of resurrected foes.
Combat in GORN 2 remains fully physics-driven, with players wielding 35 weapons, many of which are new to the sequel. The campaign features battles against the champions of the Five Sons, each presenting their own unique challenges. For those who conquer the main progression path, additional modes include an Endless Mode for sustained combat and a Custom Mode for designing personalised battlegrounds.
