Intravenous 2 Unleashes Hardcore Stealth Action, Free Demo Available

Intravenous 2, the highly anticipated sequel to the 2021 stealth sensation, is gearing up to redefine the stealth gaming experience. Developed by Explosive Squat Games and published by HypeTrain Digital, the game adopts the top-down, room-by-room perspective reminiscent of Hotline Miami but introduces a strategic and stealth-focused twist.

A Tactical Playground

Intravenous 2 puts players in the shoes of Gideon, a "cold-hearted mercenary" navigating through intense missions with a distinct focus on strategic gameplay. Departing from the glib brutality of its predecessor, this sequel demands a thoughtful and calculated approach to every move.

Before embarking on a mission, players must meticulously choose weapons, gadgets, and gear, each equipped with a set of detailed statistics. Unlike traditional stealth games, Intravenous 2 introduces a dynamic gameplay mechanic where visibility, sound, and movement speed directly influence the outcome of each encounter. Adjusting Gideon's movement speed, players must weigh the trade-off between agility and the noise generated by their character.

Silent Takedowns and Tactical Maneuvers

The game challenges players to carefully eliminate patrolling guards, opting for silent takedowns and discreetly disposing of bodies in dumpsters, taking a page from the iconic Hitman series. Intravenous 2 emphasizes the importance of selecting the right equipment - whether it be a lockpick to stealthily open a door or tampering with a fuse box to draw guards away.

Intravenous 2, set for a 2024 release, offers an immersive stealth experience. The free prologue, available on Steam, lets players explore the game's unique mechanics at no cost. As an added bonus for fans, the original Intravenous is now available at a 60% discount until Friday, February 2, priced at $7.99 / £6.70.
