Nocturnal 2 is an atmospheric action adventure game from Sunnyside Games, the Swiss developer behind Nocturnal. You play as Ardeshir, a warrior bearing the Enduring Flame, sent to explore and rekindle Ytash, a hand-drawn city inspired by Persian architecture that consumed itself long ago. You light torches and furnaces with your flaming sword to raise fire presence, fight fast juggle-based combat against creatures of the darkness, and gather strange arcana and poems that may lead you down unexpected paths.
This wiki is written for players deciding whether to buy and how to start. It only states what saved sources show: the official Steam page, developer announcements, the IGN and Metacritic listings, and hands-on demo previews from January 2026. Where something is unknown, such as the price, the endings or the full review picture, the pages say so plainly instead of guessing. The game is not out yet as of November 8, 2026, so launch guides focus on what is confirmed and what to check on launch day.
