Azure Striker Gunvolt 2 is an anime action platform game developed by Inti Creates. It is the sequel to Azure Striker Gunvolt.
After a 4-year gap between games, Azure Striker Gunvolt 2 was eventually released onto PC through Steam on June 22, 2020. Compared to its predecessor, the PC port of Azure Striker Gunvolt 2 features most of the enhancements from its Nintendo Switch port, which includes higher resolution cutscene graphics, widescreen presentation, 60 FPS gameplay, and includes all of the additional DLC content from the 3DS version. The PC version also retains a unique feature from the 3DS version for the final boss battle in Gunvolt's campaign which involved the 3DS's microphone, which can be disabled by disabling or disconnecting any microphones from the computer and cause the final boss to play similarly to the Switch version. Unfortunately, the PC version does not include the Shovel Knight amiibo-exclusive boss battle from the 3DS and Switch versions, which rewarded players with an unique item for defeating the titular Shovel Knight, and as of the latest Simplified Chinese support update, also introduced a number of game-breaking bugs that were not present in the initial PC release or the console and handheld versions. The game also has no audio settings whatsoever.
The game has not seen any patches since October 2, 2020.

Issues fixed
Bugs introduced in the Simplified Chinese update
- The Simplified Chinese update for the game (Build 5529337) has introduced the following bugs into the game:
- If playing the game in Traditional Chinese, the special attacks of EX Merak, EX Carrera, and EX Jota will cause the game to crash.
- In Score Attack mode, a score-breaking glitch can occur if the player does not defeat any enemies in a regular stage, wait for the 5-star time requirements to expire, then come into contact with a boss's body to intentionally lose Kudos, and defeating it with a normal attack.[dubious – discuss]
