Vivaldi launches Vivaldia 2 – an ode to classic arcade games and a much-awaited follow-up to the most powerful in-browser game. Vivaldia 2 is available for everyone, on all devices.
We want everyone to have a good time online!
With the first iteration of Vivaldia, we gave our users the most powerful in-browser game available. We are about productivity and flexibility, but we are also all about fun. Vivaldia added a lot of fun!
Today, we are launching Vivaldia 2! The much-awaited continuation of the Vivaldia game series. In this new chapter, the game is bigger, and the bosses are stronger. Nevertheless, our heroine is more determined than ever to take down the evil forces and save the world once again.
Sometimes you just need a quick break, and to play a game.
Watch the trailer here:
Falling out of the skies, ready to take on a new adventure, Vivaldia is back.
After entering a portal and being teleported away, Vivaldia is transported to a Lost Valley, where she must continue her fight against evil. Embarking on a thrilling adventure, facing robots and prehistoric dinosaurs, Vivaldia must save a new world, this time from the clutches of the malevolent Robot Overlord.
Pitted against relentless robotic foes and navigating through dense and perilous jungles, scorching lava fields, and treacherous swamps, Vivaldia once again seems faced with an impossible challenge.
With the fate of the land in her hands – will Vivaldia rise to the occasion?
An ode to the good old days
For the second chapter of Vivaldia, we have once again teamed up with the brilliant people from the Icelandic game developer Porcelain Fortress. The Porcelain Fortress team was born and raised in the vibrant decades of the 80s and 90s, and all share a collective nostalgia for the pixelated magic of those times. The first Vivaldia game drew inspiration from Atari games like Pitfall and Jungle Hunt. For the sequel, we all wanted to create an ode to DOS Shareware games and the old Sega and Nintendo console games, games that shaped so many childhoods.
Theme-wise, we were going for a “cassette futurism” feel when we created Vivaldia. A lot of games of the era we were looking to, had these themes of nature and cyberpunk. And who doesn’t like dinosaurs?
This game is dedicated to all the people who used to sit on the floor of their living room, in front of the TV in the 80s and 90s (maybe even the 70s), playing those games.
Where and how to play
While Vivaldia 1 is only available for Vivaldi users, Vivaldia 2 is available for everyone. You can access the game from this link, or from the Steam store here. We have updated the Vivaldia Speed Dial in Vivaldi to direct you to a shared page for the game series. This way you have easy access to both games and the complete story of Vivaldia.
