A fusion of shmup and platformer, Velocity 2X stars Lt. Kai Tana, a pilot who finds herself stranded far from home after being sucked through a black hole. Discovered, and subsequently experimented on, by an evil alien race known as the Vokh, Kai escapes with her Quarp Jet and must outrun her would-be captors.

“This is the ultimate version of Velocity 2X,” said FuturLab Managing Director, James Marsden.

“On Nintendo Switch, players will get the complete, no-compromise home console/PC version with all the graphical bells and whistles, whether playing at home on their TV at 1080p and 60fps, or on the Switch screen at 720p and 60fps.”

Velocity 2X launches 20 September on Switch and will be headlining Curve Digital's stand at EGX, alongside the console multiplayer release of Human: Fall Flat. Also playable will be Manual Samuel, For The King, Carried Away, Bomber Crew, Smoke And Sacrifice and the new multiplayer mode for Rogue Aces.
