Anomaly 2 will arrive on PlayStation 4 in North America on September 16, 11 Bit Studios announced. The reverse-tower defense game will reach the next-gen system one day later in Europe. As of February, the game was expected to launch in the spring.

As the sequel to 2011's Anomaly: Warzone Earth, the game takes real-time strategy elements into battle in its single-player campaign as well as a "tower offense versus tower defense" multiplayer mode. Anomaly 2 is available on a number of other platforms: iOS, Android via Google Play and PC, Mac and Linux via Steam, reaching the latter in May 2013. It will cost $14.99 (€13.99) on PS4.
