August 14, 2024

Clear River Games, a video game publisher specialising in classic and retro games, has announced that the highly anticipated Gimmick! 2, will be bouncing onto Nintendo Switch and Steam on September 5th, with PlayStation and Xbox versions following shortly after.
Developed by Bitwave Games and based on the legendary original game, released in the twilight years of the NES, Gimmick! 2 continues the adventures of our circular green hero Yokai Yumetaro, as he returns for an all-new epic journey, brimming with loveable new characters, locations and secrets behind every turn!
Bursting with character and charm, Gimmick! 2 follows in the footsteps of its predecessor, providing challenging, yet oh-so-addictive platforming action, with a unique physics-based Star mechanic which will challenge seasoned platforming veterans, as well as providing a new easier mode for those who prefer a more relaxing adventure.
Retaining the spirit of the golden era of platforming games, renowned British composer David Wise returns to score Gimmick! 2. A master of platforming and retro soundtracks, David created some of gaming’s most iconic soundtracks including the Donkey Kong Country series, Battletoads, Diddy Kong Racing, Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, and many more.
Clear River Games and Bitwave Games are pleased to announce that Gimmick! 2 will be playable at this year’s gamescom 2024 show, taking place in Cologne, Germany from August 21st through August 25th. In addition, Clear River Games has announced that composer David Wise will be on hand during the media days of the gamescom show
