Congratulations! Interesting decision to rebrand from Rivals 2 to Rivals of Aether II.

Glad to see the return of "of Aether" in the title! It makes it feel more connected to all the other games in the series.
Can't wait to play this game, the betas are super fun already!

I am so ready for this game.

Name change is good I play like 3 games called rivals and it would be very confusing

Please have regional pricing

Will Rivals 2 be good on Steam Deck like Rivals 1 is? Still gonna buy it either way.

The beta builds from the backer beta weekend ran on 60fps on my Steam Deck.

regional pricing or f2p pls

if it's 30 bucks it will be dead on arrival sadly.

I'll take regional pricing over the """"""""Free"""""""" To Play model any day LOL. The Free To Play model as far as I am concerned has either ruined games by micro-transactions such as loot boxes; by bad balancing to encourage people to buy the "better stuff;" and/or requiring you to always be on the internet and get tons of annoying ads (Unless you pay a fee.) along with the worry of the game becoming unplayable sometime in the future when the servers are shut down. Or, the model at best has made games bland by only focusing on making skins instead of adding any meaningful content since skins serve as the game company's main revenue so yeah :P In conclusion, implementing that model on Rivals of Aether II would not be a good idea at all.

SO SO SO SO SO HYPE HOPE AND PRAY FOR A 3D WORKSHOP THIS WILL BE THE ULTIMATE SMASH BROS ON PC ! ALSO WHERE IS MY ICE BEAR!

Not gonna lie. I'm a little nervous yet excited at the same time! I just have one question. Two actually. Will there be a F2P option and mod support? ^^

It's hard to say to be honest.

will it be f2p or paid? if paid how much will it cost?
