The full lineup for the forthcoming Indie Heroes Collection 2 has been announced today.

Featuring all 12 Game of the Month titles previewed to Evercade VS users, the collection also includes The Gruniożerca Trilogy, Nix: The Paradox Relic, and Beer Slinger. An announcement trailer can be seen below.

Pre-orders for the collection will go live this Friday (November 4). The collection is slated for a January 2023 release.

Evercade has also given fans an update on their popular Game of the Month program:

“As you can tell, the back end of 2022 has deviated from the original roadmap slightly. As the year has gone on, some of our plans have changed and evolved, and for Indie Heroes, it has evolved for the better.

The addition of Game of the Month has been a massive success. As such, it will return in 2023, starting again in April. This time, however, with the addition of WiFi to the Evercade EXP, it will be available for both VS and EXP users. So you can take Game of the Month with you on the go!

With the Indie Heroes line being one of the core Evercade products when it comes to our games, we also decided its place should be more cemented within our development plans. We also know that there are a lot of Evercade fans who are more interested in the Indie game line up than other genres, and some would like more carts to come out on their own rather than in pairs.

So our Indie Heroes cartridges will now be slated for January of each year as a single release. The Game of the Month program will run from April to December and, like this year, will feature games ahead of the release of the collection in the following January.

There will still be other indie titles available throughout our release schedule in future including plans for more dual carts (XenoCrisis/Tanglewood and Alwa’s Awakening/Cathedral) and publisher collections. And you may see Indie Heroes not just constrained to the home console line up. The future is bright and the options plentiful for this critically-acclaimed series.

We take on board all the feedback you give to us and with this, we’ve tried to implement some in our production plans and also to continue to build this already popular line further and to greater notoriety by giving it its own place. We look forward to you enjoying the cart in January!”
