Publisher [505 Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/remedy-entertainment) unveils a look at its new Ghostrunner 2 game, which is a sequel to the iconic Ghostrunner. The announcement was made by [Sony](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/death-stranding-2-pc) yesterday during its latest PlayStation showcasing -- the company unveiled a brief trailer of the cyberpunk game.

It trails behind the first launch by a year and now, players are to expect a more expansive experience that features more challenging and open levels. They will be able to have more liberty with their experience including the new choice of dialogue that gives players a better sense of the game's realm. Additionally, players will also get a chance to drive around in a motorbike, and the game will arrive on [PlayStation 5](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/splitgate-2) later this year.
