Takeover 2 is out now on Steam · Windows only · $17.99 · Local co-op · Free demo
Takeover 2
The Takeover 2, The TakeOver 2, and Take Over 2 are the same Steam game from Pelikan13. It launched on 10 November 2026. The Steam store clock says 9 November. I keep both dates. The price I read on 13 November 2026 was $17.99, down from $19.99.
No console release has been announced as of 13 November 2026. PlayStation, Switch, and Xbox searches on 13 November 2026 did not list this sequel. The free demo is a separate Steam app, and the full game is bought on the store page. I linked the cabinet art to the download guide, and the buttons go to the demo page and to Steam.

What the store page actually says
The store text calls it a 2.5D arcade beat 'em up with combo chains, parries, specials, finishers, crowd control, and S ranks. The modes named there are Arcade, Challenge, and Score Attack, plus the Jet Fury and Overtake bonus games. Four fighters are on the roster: Ethan Rivers, Megan Brooks, Connor Grayson, and Amy McKenna. Surnames come from one guide; the first names also show up in a full-roster video and in patch notes.
The store lists Shared/Split Screen Co-op and Remote Play Together. These categories describe local or streamed co-op rather than online matchmaking. Remote Play streams your copy to a friend. They do not need to own the game.
