Dev Update: Embracing the Myths and Legends in Janosik 2

Hey everyone, As we're getting closer and closer to the release of Janosik 2, we're happy to share more about the world we're building and the legends that inspire it. Aside from being an action-packed adventure, the journey you will soon embark on leads straight into the heart of Slavic folklore, where the history and myths intertwine. Let's start with the man himself - Janosik was a real historical figure who lived in what is now Slovakia at the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries. Like a Slavic Robin Hood, Janosik was known for helping the poor by robbing the rich. As a leader of a band of outlaws he became famous for his bravery and cunning.
However, Janosik 2 draws inspiration from folk legends surrounding Janosik, rather than true story of his life. In these stories, Janosik has often been portrayed with superhuman abilities bullets couldnt harm him, and he could leap great distances thanks to his shepherd's axe. Always one step ahead of his enemies, Janosiks journey in the game will lead him to face not only human foes but also legendary creatures like witches, devils, and vampires.
You already know that Janosik isn't fighting alonehe's joined by Bogdan, the Werewolf, and Hugo, the (vegetarian) Vampire. Together, they stand against the resilient forces of the nefarious Countess Bathory and work to save Janosik's beloved, Janka, from the grasp of Baron de Blonde. As a formidable team, they will face countless challenges, combining their unique strengths and abilities to overcome the dark threats that lie ahead.
Speaking of Countess Bathory, she is the primary antagonist in the game, drawing inspiration from the historical figure Elizabeth Bthory, who was rumored to be a vampire. As Janosik's most significant challenge, she embodies the dark and eerie atmosphere that echoes through the Highlands, setting the stage for intense confrontations.

Janosik 2 picks up right after the events of the first game. The famed Slovakian highlander and robber Janosik just finished a quest to rescue his comrades and is now on the path to defeat even more enemies – both mythical and historical. This time around, it’s not the band of brothers that’s missing, but rather Janosik himself. Caught with an ingenious ruse, our hero must rescue himself, his beloved and make new friends on the way.

STORY

Accompany Highlander Janosik, Bogdan the Werewolf, and a cloak-wrapped Vampire Hugo on a rescue mission to save Janka, who was captured by evil Baron de Blonde. Trek through dense mountain forests that are home to feral dogs, headless skeletons, and more, all bent on making your life harder. Bear in mind though, that there might be something even more sinister waiting for you at the end of the journey...

A bigger adventure

Much bigger levels filled to the brink with new characters, enemies and environmental threats, and traversal options.

The Good, The Not so Bad, The not really Ugly...and Janka

Four playable characters with unique abilities that complement each other, making the gameplay more fun and diverse

Die, Die and Repea...die Again

Lightning-quick reflexes, good muscle memory, and thinking two steps ahead will sadly - not be enough to finish Janosik in one sitting. But at least the checkpoints are plentiful and restarts - instantaneous

Is This A Joke to You?

A highlander, a vampire, and a werewolf enter a dungeon... and emerge - hopefully - with the Highlander's rescued bride while meeting, fighting, and defeating everyone and everything that stands in your way

Scenes That Cut

Enjoy the short breaks in an exhilarating experience by admiring the cutscenes that signify important events of Janosik, beautifully presented in all their full, 100+colors, hand-drawn, and animated glory. You will never skip a cutscene featuring a mountable sheep again

All is well that ends well!

Did we mention 3 different endings? Choices and actions made throughout your journey will shape the fate of Janosik and his companions.
