Hey everyone! The Road to Release is almost complete!
After nearly four years of steady development, community feedback, and passionate support, Two Strikes is finally stepping out of Early Access and launching in full on May 23, 2025.
Originally released on May 31, 2021, Two Strikes began as a minimalist, one-hit-kill fighting game inspired by Japanese aesthetics and samurai philosophy. What started as a small indie experiment has since grown into a polished, feature-rich title thanks in large part to a community that has shaped its evolution from the very beginning.
Over the years, the game has received major updates, including new fighters, new gameplay modes, a complete user interface overhaul, and countless improvements to gameplay and balance. Now, with the full release just around the corner, we are excited to announce the arrival of the two most requested features from the community:
Story Mode
Enter the world of Two Strikes and discover the secrets of the Tournament of the Souls. Every character now has a personal narrative with multiple endings, offering deep lore and hidden details for players who want to explore more than just combat.
Online Multiplayer
Two Strikes now features full online multiplayer, built with advanced rollback netcode and complete crossplay across all platforms. Whether on PC or console, players can challenge others around the world in smooth, competitive duels designed for precision and fairness.
This moment represents a major milestone for Two Strikes and for all the players who have supported it since 2021. What began as a focused, stylish indie title has grown into a dynamic and complete fighting experience, ready to make its mark on the global stage.
The full release on May 23 marks the beginning of a new chapter.
Strike or Die. The world is ready.
