'Heave Ho 2', a party game developed by Le Cartel Studio and published by Devolver Digital, officially launched on July 17 for PC, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2. As the official sequel to the original 'Heave Ho', it returns with even more chaotic, slapstick party gameplay centered on grabbing, hanging, and swinging.

Heave Ho 2 is the successor to the million-selling party game Heave Ho. It supports 2-4 player co-op and competitive play, set across eight themed worlds ranging from zero-gravity space to chaotic kitchens. You can choose to extend a helping hand to your friends or drop them into the abyss.

For the first time in the series, the game supports online co-op and competitive play, meaning you can now grab or launch friends into the void from across the globe. A variety of new items have also been added, including pop guns, sauce bottles, levers, keys, and drones.

The Nintendo Switch 2 version features a 'Game Share' function, allowing one owner to play with up to three others, and a 'Camera Play' feature that lets players put their own faces directly onto their characters. Furthermore, characters familiar to gamers—such as those from DAVE THE DIVER, Balatro, Among Us, and Slay the Spire—make appearances, joining hands with the cast.

Alexandre Muttoni, co-founder and art director at Le Cartel, stated, "It took a year and a half to develop Heave Ho, and four years for Heave Ho 2. We spent five and a half years creating characters that run around without legs. I have no regrets."

Heave Ho 2 was released on July 17 (KST) and is currently available on PC, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2. Further information can be found on the official website and the official Devolver Digital Korea X account.
