Ground Shatter announced the early access launch of "2 Fights in 2 Tight Spaces" during the PC Gaming Show 2026 stream on June 8. The game is a sequel to the deck-building strategy title "Fights in Tight Spaces," in which players control Agent 11 to navigate narrow grid-based arenas and use cards for close combat. The new installment adds online cooperative multiplayer for up to three players, who work together to take on criminal organizations. The early access version is available on Steam at a 15% discount until June 18. Japanese language support is not included. The announcement and release happened simultaneously during the event.
Ground Shatter revealed "2 Fights in 2 Tight Spaces" and immediately made it playable on Steam, a pattern that bypasses the typical gap between announcement and release. The original "Fights in Tight Spaces" launched in early access in 2020 and later received a full release; the sequel follows a similar path but adds a cooperative mode that the first game lacked. Up to three players can team up online, a change that shifts the tactical card game from a solitary puzzle-like experience to a coordinated team effort. The 15% launch discount runs through June 18. Sources note the absence of Japanese language support. The game was one of several titles shown during the PC Gaming Show 2026, a multi-presenter event that also featured announcements from other indie developers.
