Lab Zero Games and Autumn Games are bringing Skullgirls 2nd Encore to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita this summer, replete with a number of exclusive new features.
Currently these new features will be exclusive to the PS4/Vita releases, but we’re looking into releasing them as DLC on for the PC version.
Fully-voiced Story Mode Responding to fan demand, the story modes for Skullgirls 2nd Encore will be fully voiced! Featuring some of anime’s best and brightest, the new voices bring Skullgirls’ deep characters and lore to life.
Here’s a cast list:
Filia: Christine Marie Cabanos Samson: Patrick Seitz Cerebella: Cristina Valenzuela Peacock: Sarah Williams Parasoul: Erin Fitzgerald Ms. Fortune: Kimlinh Tran Painwheel: Danielle McRae Valentine: Laura Post Double: Charlotte Ann Marie: Kira Buckland Squigly: Lauren Landa Leviathan: Liam O’Brien Big Band: Rich Brown Fukua: Christine Marie Cabanos Eliza: Michelle Ruff Sekhmet: Wendee Lee Albus: Christopher Corey Smith Horace: Sean Schemmel Beowulf: Kai Kennedy Robo Fortune: Kimlinh Tran Skull Heart: Cassandra Lee & Cristina Valenzuela Mrs Victoria: Wendee Lee Annie: Erica Mendez Zane: Matt Mercer Minette: Cassandra Lee Umbrella: Cassandra Lee Black Dahlia: Wendee Lee Brain Drain: Kaiji Tang Venus: Lauren Landa Aeon: Cristina Vee Yu-Wan: Kaiji Tang Molly: Cassandra Lee Adam: Christopher Smith Ileum: Laura Post Stanley: Christopher Smith Avery: Christine Marie Cabanos Tommy Ten-Tons: Mike Zaimont Andy Anvil: Kaiji Tang Hive: Erin Fitzgerald Feng: Kira Buckland Dr. Avian: Liam O’Brien Leduc: Kyle Hebert Riccardo: Kyle Hebert Vitale: Kyle Hebert Lorenzo: Mike Zaimont Lawrence: Kaiji Tang Irvin: Kyle Hebert Selene Contiello: Erin Fitzgerald Roberto Contiello: Kyle Hebert Sister Agatha: Charlotte Ann Grendel: Kaiji Tang
Challenges In challenges, players square off against opponents with a variety of unique battle conditions to test their mettle. Can you beat Big Band without jumping? Or defeat triple Doubles?
Trials Trials test players’ skills by having them to perform combos. Trials are built on a new button-by-button instructional system to make learning combos easier and more intuitive than ever.
Furthermore, unlike many fighting game trials, Skullgirls 2nd Encore’s trials include combos frequently used in real play, from basic bread ‘n butter to more advanced combos.
Survival Mode Skullgirls 2nd Encore’s new Survival Mode pits players against an endless procession of foes – how long can you last?
The better you do, the more health you’ll recover between rounds. The longer you last, the harder your foes will become.
Full Platinum Trophy Set For all the trophy hunters out there, Skullgirls 2nd Encore will have a full Platinum trophy set.
The 43 trophies will test players’ mastery of Skullgirls and the new content. Many of the previous trophies are returning, while others have been adjusted based on player feedback.
Cross-Play Across the Entire PlayStation Family To keep the online community from fragmenting, Skullgirls 2nd Encore supports cross-play across all three PlayStation platforms: PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita!
PlayStation 4 Version: PlayStation 3 Peripheral Support Skullgirls 2nd Encore will support PlayStation 3 fight sticks on the PlayStation 4, thanks to the excellent work of our friend John “Cowboy” Bellomy. Just plug in your old stick and play!
Since we announced this feature, NetherRealm Studios has licensed it for use in Mortal Kombat X on PlayStation 4.
Skullgirls 2nd Encore PS4/Vita Cross-buy When you buy the PS4 version of Skullgirls 2nd Encore, you’ll get the Vita version with it free, and vice-versa!
We’re going to try and get both out simultaneously, but expect the Vita version will be released shortly after the PS4 version.
Free PlayStation 4 Theme When You Pre-Order You’ll be able to pre-order Skullgirls 2nd Encore in the coming months, and you’ll get a beautiful PS4 theme as a bonus for your purchase. It’s pretty great, if we say so ourselves, and will release a preview of it up before too long.
