There have been several upgrades to the gameplay in Ghostrunner 2, compared to the original which released in 2020.

Players will control Jack as he traverses through Dharma Tower and motorbike gameplay will be included. The demo will absolutely push exciting combat, but gamers should expect very little story to be revealed.
If you’re interested in what exactly has been added for gamers to experience, PlayStation has listed four abilities users will get to test in the demo:
- “Shuriken – Master the art of throwing shurikens to unlock doors, trigger explosions, and take down enemies from a distance.
- Tempest – Unleash a powerful blast that can eliminate multiple enemies at once. Perfect your timing to deflect enemy projectiles back at them and interact with essential objects.
- Sensory Boost – Slow down time, granting you the agility to dodge incoming attacks with precision. Use this ability to overcome challenging obstacles and collect hard-to-reach items.
- Grapple – Utilize the grappling hook to swing through the environment with ease, reaching new heights and exploring hidden areas.”
These abilities will absolutely change the overall dynamic in Ghostrunner 2. As the story progresses we will get to see new areas and meet new characters that were absent in the original.
Although this demo will only be a taste of what to expect from the full game, it will certainly keep fans interested and excited.
It has already been stated that Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and similarly massive AAA titles coming out this year will not include demos. And while these games do not need the hype of a demo to make huge sales, Ghostrunner 2 will likely benefit from such a tactic.
