The Takeover 2 - Official Reveal Trailer | The MIX Fall Game Showcase 2026

Fists, firearms, subway fights, then a sudden change of vehicle: The Takeover 2's reveal trailer squeezes a fighter jet and circuit racing between its street brawls.

Posted on IGN's GameTrailers channel as part of The MIX Fall Game Showcase 2026, the trailer reached roughly 44,000 views in six hours. That already puts it well beyond the channel's usual full-day audience for uploads of this length. Its comment section has also passed the usual first-day activity several times over.

Developer Pelikan13 introduces Ethan Rivers, Megan Brooks, Connor Grayson and Amy McKenna with character cards and demonstrations of their attacks. Megan mixes high kicks with gunfire; Amy brings grappling moves. The action then shifts to cooperative fighting, weapons drawn from the environment and rooftop combat beside a hovering helicopter. The flying and driving segments arrive as bonus games, rather than replacing the side-scrolling action.

Viewers are reaching for familiar reference points: Streets of Rage, its fourth installment and the original PlayStation's Fighting Force all come up. Others compare the animation with the first Takeover or remember picking that game up without knowing much about it.

The trailer's description lists a PC release through Steam as coming soon, without a date. Several commenters have a more tangible request: a physical edition to put beside the first game.
