Hey everyone! Happy Holidays from all of us at Drinkbox studios to you, your family and friends.



It's been an exciting year with the team releasing Guacamelee! 2 and hopefully more excitement to come with some secret projects we're working on! If you've been waiting to pick up one of our games, just a heads up that they're currently on sale. ːsteamhappyː

Thanks for all the support!!!

We're excited to announce that the entire Guacamelee! franchise is ON SALE NOW as today's Daily Deal! Guacamelee! 2 is available at 25%-off, while the original Guacamelee! is available at a whopping 85%-off.

IN ADDITION: An extra bundle discount of 10% is available through the new Guacamelee! 1 + 2 complete-the-set bundles.

Fall sale!
Quick PSA: Guacamelee! 2 is now 15%-off as part of the Steam fall sale! Our older titles are also available at fall-sale discount prices. Also:

New Guacamelee! Series Bundles


We've created a couple of new complete-the-set bundles that give owners of Guacamelee! Gold / STCE an extra 10% discount on Guacamelee! 2.

Bundle discounts combine with other sales, meaning Guac2 is available at roughly 25%-off for owners of Guac1 during the fall sale. Please note that these new bundles may only be available for a limited time, although we expect to keep them around until at least the end of the year.

We'll have more Guac2 news very soon!!

First off -- thanks from all of us at Drinkbox for the huge support of the launch of Guacamelee! 2. We're thrilled to finally have it out there and be hearing from so many players and press who've enjoyed it!

We've been busy over the last week responding to questions and support issues. If you ran into any bugs, the ones we've fixed are being listed in the Patch Notes thread. We're still working on some further updates.

We also wanted to remind anyone who was still planning on picking up Guac 2 that the launch discount, as well as the coupon for players of the original game, both expire tomorrow (Aug 28) at 10am Pacific / 1pm Eastern / 5pm UTC! Get it while you can!

To those who've already picked it up -- thanks again and we hope you're having a blast. ːbigheartː

Hey everyone,

We’re very happy to announce that Guacamelee! 2 is now officially out on Steam!!! Here’s a bunch of us crowding around Augusto's desk, hitting the 'release' button:



Important Note: Owners of the *original* Guacamelee! on Steam (either edition) are entitled to a 20% discount for the week of launch. This is obtainable by combining:

• The 10%-off Guac 2 launch discount available to all Steam users, and
  
• The 10%-off launch-week coupon, available now, exclusively for original-Guac owners

Both discounts will expire at the end of launch week.

We’re excited to be releasing the game after a lot of hard work, and we really hope you like it.

One final tip: If you find this guy... turn back.

Late last year, we announced that Guacamelee! 2 would be released… “soon-ish.” Well, soon-ish has almost arrived at Drinkbox Studios!

We’re thrilled to announce that Guacamelee! 2 will launch for Steam on August 21st for $19.99 USD. Check out the new launch trailer:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Y5n_oHsR9Q

The original Guacamelee! launched in April of 2013. It’s now over five years later and the game still stands as the definitive Mexican-Folklore-Inspired-Luchador-Platform-Brawler-Metroidvania! How do we top that?




The power of the pollo reigns supreme throughout Guacamelee! 2.

Small tunnel to traverse? Turn into a chicken and strut right on through.

Giant purple block in your way? Pollo Shot and smash that bad boy to bits.

Wait… what’s that? An orange block? Smash it with an expertly executed Pollo Slide.



Pollo Shot against bouncy walls and ricochet yourself a rapid path to freedom.

Experience the full glory of Pollo Glide by using air currents to reach unprecedented heights!

But what if the entire fabric of the Mexiverse is at risk of collapsing in on itself? No problem. Stumble upon a secret society of prophetic chickens and prove your worth. Could JUAN be the fabled CHICKEN-MAN!?



As you can well imagine, these new chicken moves aren’t just for busting your way into exotic new locations. Pollo combat is frantic, furious and fabulous.

In fact, there’s so much new chicken gameplay and content in Guacamelee! 2 that we embedded a genre-busting Pollovania completely inside of the main story’s Metroidvania. The only such game in existence as of the writing of this post… probably.


As we were making Guacamelee! 2, it occurred to us that all of the new abilities we were adding would require extensive training for players to properly master. So, we recruited a batch of mostly competent and somewhat knowledgeable characters to fill the role.



As players progress through the world of Guacamelee! 2, they’ll encounter ability trainers. Each of these trainers has a specialty that they focus on. Complete trainer challenges and they’ll hook you up with powerful upgrades and cool new abilities.

Climb to the peak of fitness with Doña Chamoya or sharpen your beak under the tutelage of Rooster Ramírez. Upgrade your grappling moves with Coscorrona or decipher Uay Coco’s instructions to punch with explosive force!

However, if you really want to fight with finesse, visit Flame Face in one of his many tequila bar franchises and go toe-to-toe against punching Poncho (don’t hold back, he’s paid well for the job).




Guacamelee! 2 is an epic adventure that can be experienced alone or co-operatively with three of your closest amigos. Explore hundreds of new platforming and combat challenges. New abilities such as Eagle Boost, Rocket Kick, GOOOTCHA! and more add to Juan’s awesome arsenal of luchador moves. Upgrade your pollo form with Pollo Shot, Pollo Slide and a plethora of new chicken abilities (some secret, some not so secret). Select strategically from dozens of new skill upgrades to maximize your lucha potential.

So how did we plan to squeeze all of this into a game the size of Guacamelee! ? We didn’t! Thanks to our poor planning, we were forced to create a much larger game than the original. You can expect a bigger, badder world, with all sorts of interesting nooks and crannies to explore and conquer.



We’ve worked extremely hard on the game over the past two years, and we’re super hyped that people will finally be able to experience Guacamelee! 2 so soon. Please feel free to ask any questions you have in the comments below, and we will try to answer them the best we can!

Oh... and please Wishlist us! (if you wish)

Hey Gold Edition players,

Just a quick heads-up that we've uploaded new player costumes for four of the game's most notorious NPCs. Steam user Mujizik's lavishly animated reskins are free to download in the Guac Gold workshop. Enjoy!

All versions of Guac are also 80% off until next Monday, April 25. If you're a Windows user who wants to check out the new content in Super Turbo Championship Edition, now's a great chance!
