Last December, Söldner-X: Himmelssturmer was released to the PSN and was ultimately well received. So much so, that a sequal is in the works exclusively for the PS3.

Like its predecessor, Söldner-X 2 will feature fast paced horizontal side scrolling shoot’em up in addition to a variety of new features…

• Seven unique action-loaded levels with fierce boss battles, staged across Underwater Worlds, Ice Caves, Tunnel Worlds, Space and other deadly scenarios.
• High definition graphics with 3D backgrounds in up to 1080p.
• Dynamic score-linked difficulty system, making the game accessible for newcomers, yet challenging and rewarding for hardcore gamers.
• Two new playerships with their own characteristics and weapon systems to choose from.
• Brand new limit attacks and fourfold chaser system.
• New bullet pattern system.
• Detailed online high score ranking tables and replay file sharing.
• Hidden bonus elements, including a tribute to Söldner-X: Himmelsstürmer.
• Adrenaline pumping soundtrack with more than 15 unique tracks and over a hundred sound effects.

Söldner-X 2: Final Prototype is scheduled for release this winter.
