Ready to rumble? DrinkBox Studios’ quirky luchador-themed platformer Guacamelee 2 is catapulting itself into the ring this August, and it’s packed with more chickens and suplexes than ever before.

Guacamelee 2 follows Juan Aguacate as he comes out of retirement after a few peaceful years to face off against a new threat. Juan’s once again has to save his friends and family by squaring off against another luchador who’s the ruler of a parallel timeline. Juan has to squeeze into his tights once more, because the Mexiverse is in danger, and only he has enough swagger to save it. 

Juan’s back with a whole new set of moves this time around, such as the Rocket Kick, Eagle Boost, and chicken-themed Pollo Shot. Speaking of poultry, Juan’s popular chicken form has its own set of moves and abilities too, instead of just being handy to sneak through narrow passages. With an even bigger map, twice the amount of enemy types, and a new “upgrade system” that allows you to flex out Juan with new abilities, it’s a good time to hop into the ring if you missed out on the first game. 

You can play solo or invite up to four players for local co-op sessions too. Guacamelee 2 is coming to PlayStation 4 and PC on Aug. 21.
