Rivals of Aether II’s content won’t be stopping at launch either. Currently, the game has 10 characters, but will receive more characters over time. Additionally, 4 of them will be added next year in 2025. It’s also already been confirmed that as long as the game does well, every character from Rivals of Aether bar Shovel Knight and Ori will return. And, every new/returning character will be completely free. There’s also more than just characters coming. Players can expect a Crew Battle mode, Workshop support, more cosmetics, more stages, buddies, a menu update, story mode, console ports and much more in the future!
Author’s Note: I've been looking forward to this, the first Rivals of Aether was fantastic and I always wished I had more people to play it with. As for this one, I got to play the demo recently during the Next Fest and it played great! So far I've been playing Maypul and it's been a blast. Who have you all been playing and/or planning to play? Please let us know in the comments below!
