Freedom Planet 2 is an indie platform video game developed and published by GalaxyTrail for Windows, and published by Xseed Games on home consoles. It is the sequel to Freedom Planet, originally developed as a Sonic the Hedgehog fangame. It was released for Windows on September 13, 2022, which was followed by ports on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S on April 4, 2024. Like its predecessor, it is inspired by Sega Genesis games. It follows the three-person cast of the original game and new panda character Neera Li as they fight the robotic army of Merga, a water dragoness who seeks revenge for ancient atrocities.
Critics called Freedom Planet 2 a general improvement over the first game in the series, and also noted how it became less similar to the Sonic series and adopted its own unique graphical and gameplay style.
