Costume Quest 2 Spooks PS4, PS3 Today

Hey PlayStation.Blog friends, Casey Lynch from Midnight City here again!

Costume Quest 2 hits PS4 and PS3 in North America today, which means costumed warriors Wren and Reynold are back to save Halloween! No pressure, right? I mean, you’d think they could just catch a break and have a normal Halloween like other kids and stuff. But NO!

A probably-very-evil dentist called Dr. Orel White, DDS, wants to save the world… from the terrors of SUGAR! To get rid of all those cavity-inducing candies for good, he plots to erase Halloween from history!

This simply won’t do. But what are the kids supposed to do? This isn’t like fighting simple Grubbins, those green pushovers. These are Time Wizards, and Kronys, and worse. You’re going to need some seriously sweet firepower to stop them — like SACKBOY, what?!

You’ll also have an improved battle system at your disposal, which includes a new special attack mechanic that rewards fast reflexes, and nearly four dozen Creepy Treat Cards that you can collect and use to increase damage, earn multiple attacks, and more to even the odds.

Are you ready to put it all on the line for Halloween? Will you travel to a faraway dystopian future, a place where candy is outlawed, and fun is a thing of the past?

Are you sweet enough to save the world? We sure hope so.

Costume Quest 2 is available today for $14.99 on PS4 and PS3, with other territories to follow shortly. And all you Vita fans out there, yes we love Vita and yes we’d love to bring the game to Vita, great idea! But we have nothing to announce about that right now.

The first one was one of the cutest games. Captured the feeling of being a kid on Halloween oh so well.

The inclusion of Sackboy is nice.

Haha I see that devs are already pre-answering the Vita beggars from PS Blog.

Also holy shit, since September, we're averaging like 5-6 games a week on the PS4 0_o

It spooks Wii U this Thursday.

I had no idea the 1st existed, let alone that a sequel was coming out :p Are they good?

Remind me a bit of the Mario and Luigi games.  Lighter comedic tone and RPG battles mixed with button prompts for criticals and specials.

I loved the first game.  Was humourous and sweet and fun experience. Definitely will look into getting its sequel. 

in the first at least, the fighting was pretty simplistic.  got a bit repetitive after a while but the game isn't that long either so it didn't ever get "bad".  the story and humor was great though and i like the side quests a lot.  a great little time waster to get into the halloween mood.  nothing to quite brag about but good and it's not like there are a ton of rpgs anymore either.

personally,,. i'm going to pick this up next year.  i had my halloween party last weekend and i'm out on business for a few days.  dumb as this sounds i don't want to play this after halloween but i'll keep it in mind for next.

That actually looks quite good.
Might get it on Wii U.

Sounds like something i should give a go. I've had very little time to play games recently, and when i do i'm often too tired to bother :/ Something short and simple would suit me well right now.

Awesome, i loved the first one. Definitely picking this up.
