Odd Bug Studio is taking players back to the world of Tails of Iron for a sequel, but this time the grim and bloody world of Ratdom will tell a new tale. Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter will follow the story of Arlo, a young rat on a quest for brutal revenge against the Dark Wings.
Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter will see the return of Doug Cockle, the voice actor known for Geralt inThe Witcher 3as well as recent roles inBaldur’s Gate 3andAlan Wake 2. Cockle will reprise his role as the narrator, detailing Arlo’s bloody crusade against the Dark Wings in a new and expanded campaign. Like its predecessor, Tails of Iron 2 will be a violent and intense tale, featuring a semi-open RPG world fleshed out across six biomes.
This new game takes the violent lore of the first game to grander levels to push the premium indie envelope.
A new monster-hunting element will be added to expand Tails of Iron 2’s gameplay, with Arlo facing 15 new beasts. Arlo will be able to scavenge precious materials from the corpses of the beasts he lays to waste that can be used for vital upgrades. A new day and night system is set to be introduced in Tails of Iron 2, alongside improvements to base building that will give players access to better items, meals, weapons, and traps, to name a few things.
Fans of Tails of Iron can look forward to more of the grit and gore that was familiarized by the first. “We wanted to buildupon what we achieved with the first installment and create a game that was more than just a straightforward sequel,” saidJack Bennett, Co-founder and Lead Designer of Odd Bug Studio. “We took on board the incredible community feedback on the original game and set about crafting a more intense experience than its predecessor.”
Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter will be available onXbox Series X|Sand Xbox One consoles, as well asSteam,PlayStationconsoles, and theNintendo Switchwhen it is released later this year.
