A controversial PlayStation 4 game is returning with a PS5 sequel, which now has an official release date. A brand new trailer showcases what fans can expect from the second installment.
Toro 2, a follow-up to 2015’s original Toro game, is set to release on September 9, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and PS4 alongside Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch.
Developed by RecoTechnology, Toro 2 is an arcade title in which players can challenge bulls in iconic arenas as they attempt to become champions.
What’s happening in Toro 2’s trailer
The official Toro 2 trailer showcases a packed arena where a bull charges toward a bullfighter at full speed.
“Become a bullfighting star,” reads the video description before teasing the various arena locations where players will get to challenge the bulls. The venues include Pamplona, Madrid, Nimes, Seville, and Mexico.
The trailer also confirms a brand new multiplayer mode while unveiling a brief gameplay clip as well from the upcoming sequel.
“Be a bullfighter, be a bull”, reads another description while confirming a Versus mode in which players can choose to be either a bullfighter or a bull and then compete against their friends.
The third-person 3D bullfighting simulator will also feature a Career mode where players can start their journey to become a legendary bullfighter. They can work their way to stardom in some of the world’s most prestigious bullfighting arenas.
Toro 2 is coming a decade after its predecessor, which was a popular game, especially among PC players. It managed to earn 73% positive reviews on the Steam platform.
However, the game did attract some flak as well, if not much, for simulating traditional bullfighting. Some critics argued that it glorified animal cruelty for entertainment.
RecoTechnology’s Toro 2 arrives on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch on September 9, 2026.
