Developer Shiro Games announced Evoland 2 today with a set of screens that shows off the game's continuing tribute to the history of RPGs and it's new diversity in game styles.

Like its predecessor, Evoland 2's gameplay moves the player along from the 8-bit era to the 3D RPGs of later years. To follow up on the original, though, it's expanding its gameplay options to include the kind of spin-off series gameplay that RPG franchises inevitably give in to (I know you can hear me, Chocobo Racing).
While one set of screens seems to show the tried and true RPG exploration formula, the second set shows off a completely different set of game styles. Included in the game are a Final Fantasy Tactics-esque turn-based game, a 2D platformer and a top-down, scrolling shoot-em-up game. Moreover, the developers are promising a bigger game than the original with a deeper story based on time travel, an undisputed staple of the genre.
