Funky Can Creative has announced that its side-scrolling action game, PopSlinger Vol.2: Loveless, which was originally released as a Nintendo Switch exclusive in 2024, is available now on PS5 via the PlayStation Store for $14.99.
New PS5 action game PopSlinger Vol. 2: Loveless first launched on Switch and PC
PopSlinger Vol. 2 Loveless is a side-scrolling shoot ’em up inspired by 90’s cartoons and anime. Featuring fully-voiced dialogue and dynamic cutscenes, the game stars Agent Cooper McLaren and Akane 2.0 as they attempt to rescue the first game’s protagonist, Ria. Players will use “coffee-fueled” weapons and “digital powers” to destroy their enemies, as well as the Loveless Sisters.
Here is a brief description of the game, as well as a trailer, giving players an idea of what to expect from PopSlinger Vol. 2: Loveless:
“PopSlinger Vol. 2 – Loveless takes you on a thrilling new adventure where Agent Cooper McLaren of the Juncture Against Various Anomalies (JAVA) teams up with Akane 2.0, a reformed digital idol, to rescue Ria, the heroine of the first game, who has mysteriously vanished.
“As they navigate the bizarre Purple District, Cooper’s coffee-fueled weapons and Akane’s digital powers will be put to the test against the formidable Loveless Sisters and a variety of new enemies.”
Funky Can Creative founder Jose Luis Abreu expressed their excitement with bringing the game to PS5.
“We’re thrilled to bring PopSlinger Vol. 2: Loveless to PlayStation 5 right as the holidays kick into high gear,” said Abreu. “Whether you’re jumping in for the first time, hunting down a cassette before it’s gone, or waiting for the vinyl drop, we’re grateful to everyone keeping the PopSlinger groove alive.”
As new PS5 games get surprise releases on the PS Store, just as many are being delisted from the digital storefront. The latest is Guilt Battle Arena, with indie developer Invincible Cat announced it is shutting down.
