Everything We Know About Rivals of Aether 2

Rivals of Aether 2 Story Plot

Rivals of Aether 2, like many platform fighters, doesn’t center around a traditional story or deep narrative. Instead, it brings its vibrant, elemental world to life through rich stage designs, unique fighter characters, and subtle visual storytelling.

While a story mode hasn't been announced to supplement this game’s main gameplay, it still shines by immersing players in its dynamic, beautifully crafted environments, letting the action speak for itself.

Rivals of Aether 2 Gameplay

Rivals of Aether 2 takes the platform-fighting formula perfected by Nintendo’s Smash Bros. and builds on it with dynamic stages, fluid combat, and a returning roster of 10 anthropomorphized animals wielding elemental powers. Players can battle it out in fast-paced 1v1, 2v2, or chaotic free-for-all skirmishes, aiming to knock opponents off the platform or out of the arena.

With customizable controls, an intuitive gameplay loop, dedicated CPU opponents, and the promise of future updates bringing new characters, modes, and special events, Rivals of Aether 2 is shaping up to be a worthy successor to its 2015 predecessor.
