Gravity Circuit 2 Announced: New Playable Character and a Free Steam Giveaway

A Former Boss Becomes an Ally: Meet Cable

The most significant gameplay reveal is the addition of a second playable character, Cable. Veterans of the first game will recognize Cable—not as an ally, but as a former boss . His inclusion marks a major shift from the original, which focused solely on the protagonist Kai.

Cable isn't just a cosmetic skin for Kai; he brings an entirely new moveset designed around a ranged, projectile-based combat style . His abilities allow for a more evasive playstyle, including multiple jumps that can damage enemies, and a unique mechanic where defeated foes are converted into "scrap" that he can then use as ammunition .

This dual-protagonist system lets players choose between Kai or Cable before starting a mission, effectively allowing them to tailor their approach—whether they prefer Kai's up-close, high-risk brawling or Cable's strategic, long-range damage .
