Nocturnal II Ignites PC on November 10, 2026

Sunnyside Games' Persian-inspired metroidvania sequel Nocturnal II hits Steam on November 10, 2026, with a new trailer revealing the interconnected city of Ytash.

Ready to get lost in a sprawling, Persian-inspired city? Sunnyside Games has just announced that Nocturnal II, the side-scrolling metroidvania sequel, is coming to PC via Steam on November 10, 2026. A new trailer dropped alongside the launch date, giving us a taste of what's in store.

This time, you'll explore Ytash, a city that's as vertical as it is mysterious. The game promises an interconnected environment that spans from the city's depths all the way to its upper reaches. If you're a fan of getting lost in labyrinthine maps and unlocking new paths, this sounds like your jam.

Progression is key here—as you advance, you'll open up additional routes and abilities, classic metroidvania style. The original Nocturnal set the stage with its fiery combat and atmospheric world, and the sequel looks to expand on that formula with a whole new urban playground.

Details are still slim beyond the release date and setting, but the trailer (which you can find online) should give you a better sense of the mood and mechanics. Sunnyside Games hasn't shared specifics on gameplay changes or new features yet, so we'll have to wait for more info as November 2026 approaches.

For now, mark your calendars: November 10, 2026, is when Nocturnal II launches on PC. If you're into metroidvanias with a unique cultural twist, this one should be on your radar. Keep an eye out for more updates from the developer.
