Shock! Rain Games has announced Teslagrad 2

Teslagrad

A journey begins... A treacherous tower... Unravel its mysteries!Discover the secrets kept in the long abandoned Tesla Tower!Magnetism and other electromagnetic powers will help you explore a non-linear world of beautiful hand-drawn environments, in a steampunk-inspired vision of old Europe.

Teslagrad, the magnetic-themed Metroidvania from 2013, is getting a sequel.

There's not much else to go on beyond a few concept art sketches and excited quotes. "This game has been rattling at the back of my mind for six years while we've been working on our games," said Rain Games' CEO Peter Meldahl. "I've hoarded the best ideas from those years to use for Teslagrad 2."
