Metanet Software is unveiling N Plus Infinity Times Two, a multiplayer-focused evolution of the N series, planned for a 2027 release across PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Switch 2.

The game offers five main modes—classic Trials and Co-op, a revamped Racing, plus One-Up and Team Tag—with Team Tag highlighted as the core attraction and a social, party-friendly focus.

Racing, now called Rocket Murder Time, adds rocket combat and fast-paced action, while co-op variants and One-Up eliminations expand multiplayer dynamics.

Developers Burns and Sheppard, known for a deliberate, slow development pace, pivoted from years of N++ iteration to revisit the concept with a multiplayer emphasis after a 2022 resurgence.

Metanet emphasizes an indie philosophy that centers player experience over revenue, with careful pacing for updates, cross-platform level sharing, and no aggressive monetization.

The title is positioned as a reimagining of the classic formula rather than a direct sequel, prioritizing social and party-focused multiplayer elements.

Preview signals strong potential for multiplayer to complement the series’ precise platforming and iconic soundtrack.

A distinctive design detail is a circular hitbox inspired by a Bungie-origin concept, enabling more precise and fluid 2D movement.

The project drew inspiration from younger players and social gaming, blending online interaction with traditional couch co-op.

Multiplayer is treated as a core design driver, with an emphasis on the athletic nature of platforming and Miyamoto’s influence on framing multiplayer as integral.

Visual previews were shown during showcases, giving a first look at the N++-style reimagining.

The game preserves the series’ minimalist visuals and precise movement while expanding to include local and online co-op, solo play, and cross-play.
