Foamstars Season 2 Revealed With a Trailer, Release Date, and More

Foamstars is gearing up to launch Season 2, which kicks off on March 9.

Season 2, dubbed Groovy Disco, adds a new character called Coiff Guy, new modes, and seasonal events to the PlayStation 5-exclusive Splatoon-style shooter. Season 2 ends April 13. All players can get Coiff Guy for free as a Tier 31 reward for the Season Pass, or can be accessed immediately by buying the Premium Pass.

Missions 4-6 arrive as part of Season 2. This lets players experience more of the individual stories of the Foamstars themselves, learning more about their backgrounds and how to play as each character. There’s a boss battle against Dark Ramzey in mission six.

Elsewhere, there are a number of limited time events. Here’s the schedule:

Developer and publisher Square Enix recently released Foamstars straight into PlayStation Plus, where it will stay until March 4. Then, from March 5, Foamstars costs $29.99 / £24.99 via the PlayStation Store, with a PlayStation Plus subscription required to play.

IGN’s Foamstars review returned a 6/10. We said: “Foamstars’ combat mechanics are unexpectedly engaging, but confounding time-gated modes and aggressive monetization make them harder to enjoy.”
