The Nintendo Switch version of Skullgirls 2nd Encore is getting a major update that will include new features and content. Skullgirls is a great example of what can happen when a developer’s passion for fighting games meets an enthusiastic and supportive fan base. Skullgirls was released in 2012 to high praise, and its unique art style, tight gameplay mechanics, and rich storytelling have earned it a dedicated following among fighting game fans.
For those who don’t know, Skullgirls 2nd Encore is a fast-paced 2D fighting game that features an all-female cast of characters.

The upcoming update will also introduce support for the Season 1 Pass content, which includes the addition of new DLC characters Black Dahlia and Marie. The 2021 season pass for Skullgirls added a total of 4 new characters, including Annie of the Stars who was first showcased in 2020. In addition to the new characters, a new story mode was also added to the game to make it more engaging.
Despite being a fan favorite among the fighting game community for many years, Skullgirls has always been held back by certain circumstances. For example, the original lead designer for Skullgirls, Mike “Z” Zaimont was accused of sexual misconduct, which caused the dissolution of the original Skullgirls developer, Lab Zero Games. Later on, the development responsibilities for the game were transferred to Autumn Games, and they seem to be doing a fantastic job by constantly adding new content to the game.
Skullgirls is one of those games that just keeps getting better with age; it’s now over 10 years old and is still going very strong. The game has seen a lot of updates and changes over the years, and it’s only getting better with each one. With a strong community and support behind it, Skullgirls is sure to be around for many years to come.
Skullgirls is currently available on mobile, PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
