Heave Ho 2 is out now on PC and Nintendo Switch 2, developer Le Cartel and publisher Devolver Digital announced. The sequel to the original party game supports 2-4 player co-op and competitive multiplayer, with full online play joining the classic local couch mode.
Players swing through eight themed worlds ranging from weightless space to kitchen chaos, grabbing and grappling their way to victory. New mechanics include gadgets such as pop guns, sauce bottles, levers, keys and drones. Co-op players can help friends reach platforms or send them tumbling in versus mode.
Nintendo Switch 2 players who purchase Heave Ho 2 can download the original Heave Ho for free from the eShop for the next two weeks. Those who already own Heave Ho on Nintendo Switch get a 20% discount on the sequel for a limited time. The Switch 2 version also supports GameShare, letting one player share the game with up to three others locally or online, and CameraPlay, which lets players insert their own faces onto characters.
A demo with online play is available on the eShop. The game includes collaborations with Among Us, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, Slay the Spire, Balatro and Cult of the Lamb.
