High Speed Robot Action Evolved

Released two years after the first Zone of the Enders, The 2nd Runner upgrades the mechanics of the original in every way. Its intuitive controls make each action even more exhilarating than before. Anime and CG come together to create a visual style like no other, and the stage layouts and story offer a non-stop entertainment experience. The game also boasts incredible sound effects, a pumping soundtrack, memorable voice performances, and top-notch production values in every detail. This is the next level of high speed robot action.

Refined Aerial Action and Speed

Z.O.E.'s action thrills rise to new heights with even smoother aerial action and faster speed. The Orbital Frame reacts instantly to every twitch of the fingertips, letting players toy with enemies in a flurry of moves from every direction. Whether it's slicing, shooting, grabbing, or flying, you're always in total control.

Graphics Pushing Hardware to the Max

Mesmerizing players and onlookers alike, The 2nd Runner's gorgeous visuals take console performance to the limit. Witness the homing laser flood the screen with dazzling streaks of light as it mercilessly tracks enemies, creating a battle spectacle straight out of the best in film and anime. Every movement the player makes is another set piece on this otherworldly stage.

One Captivating Location after Another

The Orbital Frame has been unleashed into the wild. Though Z.O.E. took place entirely within the bounds of a space colony, The 2nd Runner takes players on a journey from Jupiter's satellite Callisto to the enemy fortress Aumaan. Highlights include taking the Vector Cannon into battle against a massive spacecraft, and wasteland skirmishes against swarms of foes. Players will experience the ultimate freedom and excitement as they blaze a path across the cosmos.

A Perfect Fusion of Anime and CG

Stages are seamlessly linked by high-quality anime cutscenes. These 2D sequences, polished enough to be a stand-alone movie, also feature as part of the in-game display in combination with exquisite CG. This blend of anime and CG gives The 2nd Runner a look unlike anything else.
