Messhof has announced Nidhogg 2, a sequel to the 2014 side scroller fencing game Nidhogg.

At the moment the follow-up has only been announced for PC in 2017, though the developer has said it may come to some other platforms as well.

The first game was propelled into the spotlight largely due to its stellar local and online multiplayer. It garnered an 81 on Metacritic.

Here’s a list of things you can expect with the follow-up, courtesy of Messhof:

• Completely overhauled detailed environments and animations
• 10+ levels of fencing goodness
• Local and online multiplayer and tournament mode
• Play single-player against a series of AI opponents with occasional special challenge rounds
• New soundtrack featuring music by Mux Mool, Dose One, Daedelus and more!
• Even more stuff we’ll talk about soon…

Nidhogg 2 is set to be playable in the Indie District at TwitchCon, which runs from September 30th to October 2nd. Additionally, it will be present on the Indie Stage live stream October 1st at 5:15 p.m. PST.

The following teaser trailer was released alongside the announcement:
