Ghostrunner 2 is an action platform video game developed by One More Level and published by 505 Games. A sequel to Ghostrunner (2020) the game was released for PlayStation 5 Windows and Xbox Series X/S on 26 October 2023. Upon release it received positive reviews from critics. The game is played from a first-person perspective. The playable character Jack is very agile being able to traverse dangerous environments by dashing jumping wall-running and sliding. He can also utilize a grappling hook to swing through the environment and use "Sensory Boost" which briefly slows down time allowing Jack to strafe through the air. The game also introduces a stamina meter which dictates how frequent players can dash and deflect attacks. While a sword is the player's primary weapon Jack also has access to several special abilities which can be used in both combat scenarios and solving puzzles. For instance the "Shuriken" ability which allows Jack to throw multiple electrical throwing stars can be used to stun enemies as well as hitting distant switches. Both Jack and his enemy have very limited health and both can be killed in one hit.
