Similar to the original game, players will construct a deck of cards to combat enemies across three floors. The sequel introduces new card types, Clans, enemy factions, and a narrative that involves partnering with Heaven and Hell to defeat the Titans.

Exciting New Features in Monster Train 2
The sequel introduces additional strategic advantages through five new playable Clans, each offering unique battle styles. New and familiar cards, including Room Cards, Equipment Cards, and Clan-agnostic Neutral Cards, have been added along with new unit abilities for more strategic gameplay. Players can experiment with vast card combinations and synergies to enhance combat depth.
Monster Train 2 also brings new train customization options, an Endless Mode, Daily and Dimensional challenges, run mutators, and leaderboards to provide a challenging experience filled with excitement and discovery.
While the exact release date is still unknown, the game is expected to arrive sometime in 2025. Keep an eye out for more updates as they become available.
