Kwalee, the British publisher, and independent studio Clover Bite have announced that Grime II, an action-adventure game in the Metroidvania style, will launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, alongside the previously confirmed PC release via Steam. The sequel to the acclaimed 2021 title is set to arrive on March 31, 2026. Grime II expands the dark and inexorable world of its predecessor, transporting players to a new and strange kingdom filled with eccentric landscapes. As a Formless—an artist mimic—the player absorbs creatures and takes on the forms of those creatures. To mark the announcement, Kwalee and Clover Bite released a new trailer showcasing the mysterious game world, enhanced abilities, and combat. Grime II features a strategic parry and grasp system where players use hand-tendrils to soak up enemies and learn their forms for combat or exploration. The game boasts over 30 weapons, 20 armor sets, and over 40 unique abilities, which players can use along with the environment and summoned molds to defeat terrifying enemies and epic bosses.

In Grime II, players embark on a journey to a new and mysterious land within the Grime universe, where danger and wonders await. They will utilize the environment and summoned forms to defeat deadly foes and explore a deep world filled with diverse cultures and characters. Players can customize their playstyle by choosing from a variety of skills, weapons, and form summons, learning enemy characteristics to aid in combat and uncover the world’s secret paths. A press kit is also available, though it contains no new details. Developed by Clover Bite and published by Kwalee, Grime II builds upon the foundation of the first game in the series, released to critical acclaim in 2021. Clover Bite, established in 2014, is an internal studio of Tiltan School of Design and Visual Communication. With sector experience and exceptional graduated students, it employs seven teams working on projects spanning PC, mobile devices, consoles, and VR, including the veteran Team Malignant.
