Gravity Rush 2 PS4 PlayStation 4 Release Dates 2

Hype! The gravity queen will return on 30th November in Europe and 2nd December in North America, platform holder Sony has announced – with Gravity Rush 2 tumbling to the PlayStation 4 just in time to meet its 2016 release window. The date was announced on the PlayStation Blog this morning in conjunction with a Japanese event.

Pre-orders for the game – which open soon – will be acknowledged with a white costume for protagonist Kat, as well as a Director's Choice soundtrack featuring nine songs from the uber-stylish game. Pre-orders from the PlayStation Store will also secure a theme, and – in North America only it seems – ten PSN avatars.

But that's not all: prior to the release of the game, Sony will debut an anime called Gravity Rush The Animation ~ Overture ~, which will bridge the gap between the original title and its sequel. And that may well detail the origins of a new character named Angel, who's set to appear in the new game. "Angel is a superheroine with an aggressive and wild fighting style," associate product marketing manager Brian Dunn wrote on the PlayStation Blog.

There's a new – and fantastic – trailer embedded below, so give that a watch if you want to increase your already no doubt sizeable hype. We absolutely cannot wait for this one.
