Story

Thanks to the efforts of Copen, the "Luminous Avenger iX," the world is finally at peace. It was during these peaceful times that Copen threw himself into his research. Some time after his battles ended, Copen found himself in possession of a mysterious, rifle-shaped piece of tech called a "Blaster Rifle." Copen immediately began work on repairing and studying the device. While Copen was deep in the midst of his work, a wormhole suddenly appeared before him and drew him in. The next thing he knew, Copen found himself in an unfamiliar place - a desert world where only mechanical beings known as "Workers" lived. Copen, along with Lola and Kohaku who were sent there along with him, must search for a way home. They have the help of a Worker girl, Null, who leads them to a giant tower known as the "Grave Pillar" where the world's secrets are said to lie. This is where their story begins...

What is happening now

Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX 2 is a side-scrolling action-platformer that launched in early 2022 across modern and legacy consoles. The sequel expands on its predecessor's formula by introducing a true ending mechanic, a significant departure from the first game's structure. Unlocking this ending requires players to meet specific conditions throughout their playthrough, placing it alongside the mainline series' narrative approach. The game also features hard mode difficulty and bonus emblems for players seeking additional challenge and collectibles. Community coverage has focused on guiding players toward completion objectives and hidden content, suggesting the true ending's requirements may not be immediately apparent to newcomers.
