Gravity evolved
Upturn everything you know and return to a world where the laws of gravity are yours to bend or break as your will commands.
Kat and Raven return in Gravity Rush 2 to embark on another dizzying adventure where sometimes falling can feel like flying. With her astonishing gravity powers at hand, it's up to Kat to uncover the secrets behind the strange gravitational waves sweeping across Hekseville under the shadow of an immense gravity storm.
Experiment with Kat's newly evolved gravity-bending powers to change the direction of gravity and alter its strength at will. Master the laws of physics as you explore an expansive world filled with story quests, challenges and monstrous demons. Use your powers together with the fully destructible environment to overcome your enemies in ways never imagined.
A more vibrant and dynamic experience
Enter a bright and bustling land, bursting with life. Manipulate gravity using the motion sensors of the DUALSHOCK 4 wireless controller to soar and traverse a vast and detailed open world, 2.5 times larger than the original. With a variety of missions and fun mini objectives, you've got plenty to keep Kat busy.

Improved gravity action
Kat's incredible gravity based powers have been given a boost in Gravity Rush 2. On top of her Normal style, Kat now has access to Lunar and Jupiter styles:
Lunar: Reduces gravity and makes Kat lighter and quicker.
Jupiter: Increases gravity, slowing down Kat's movements but making her more powerful.
Each style offers unique attacks that you can seamlessly switch between and combine to devastating effect.
Tag-team battle system
Partner up with other computer-controlled allies, such as the formidable Raven, and tackle more heavy duty opposition – make sure no one can withstand your spectacular tag-team attacks.
Costumes
Just like in the original game, Gravity Rush 2 allows players to acquire a number of additional costumes for the protagonist Kat.
Additional Gameplay Features
The game also adds a photograph functionality and online asynchronous multiplayer such as treasure hunts and challenges.
There is a new difficulty setting selection, allowing players to make the game slightly harder or easier, and using Gravity Gems unlocks a more diverse moveset for Kat instead of powering up her shifting time or speed.
...and more!
DLC
You can play as Raven in a free DLC titled "The Ark of Time: Raven's Choice."
There are also several free DLC costumes, such as the Dark Angel Costume and the NieR: Automata Collaboration Pack.
