It’s time for a preview of what to expect from Skullgirls in 2024!

This post focuses on Skullgirls 2nd Encore, but be sure to check out the full preview on the Skullgirls Mobile forums, which covers some of these topics in more detail and also premieres some huge developments, like new Guest Star characters coming to Skullgirls Mobile!



SKULLGIRLS 2ND ENCORE

With the SG2E Season 1 Pass winding down, the obvious question is - what comes next? While it’s tempting to dive right into a Season 2 Pass - we’ve instead opted to pause for a moment to step back and recalibrate our efforts a bit. What does that mean exactly?

MARIE DLC
Marie’s DLC is scheduled to launch on all platforms including her Story Mode, stage/music track, alternate VO pack, 30 palettes, and more!

ADDITIONAL VO
In addition to what’s already been released (including free bonus voice packs for Umbrella and Black Dahlia), there is still a significant amount of VO that we were planning to include in the Season Pass that has not been added yet, including:
  • ANNIE ALTERNATE VOICE PACK (English)
  • SEASON PASS CHARACTER STORY MODE VO (English)
  • SEASON PASS CHARACTER COMBAT VO (Japanese)

As it turns out, the logistics for all of these has proven to be a bit more involved than we had originally anticipated. As such, in order to ensure that everything is done to the quality level that we (and the community) expects, we unfortunately are NOT planning to release this content in 2024.

Nonetheless, while the timetable isn’t what we originally hoped for, we take our commitments seriously, and we are still planning to release it in 2025. As always, we appreciate your patience, support, and understanding!

FREE SGM PALETTES
As noted earlier, Skullgirls Mobile will continue to get new palettes every month. While the release timing is a little up in the air, we are planning to provide all of those palettes FOR FREE to every Skullgirls 2nd Encore player. In fact, Marie’s full release just around the corner will include new palettes for Robo-Fortune and Beowulf!

NEW FEATURES / CONTENT / CHARACTERS
Although we don’t currently have news on what to expect on this front at this time - just know that we are still intending to support both the console and mobile versions of Skullgirls for years to come. Stay tuned for more details in the coming months!
