Wargrove 2 is being developed by 'Robotality,' a studio with numerous successful games on the [Steam](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wartorn) platform on PC. Where Wargrove 1 primarily had a fantasy tone with knights, armies, and princesses, Wargrove 2 takes the franchise even further by adding new types of units and factions, such as pirates or mermaids. According to Chucklefish, Wargrove 2 will feature three engaging stories similar to the campaign in the first game, as well as an all-new [roguelike mode](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hades-ii-switch), adding new single-player content and replayability to the franchise.
