Play’n Go has released Hugo 2, the follow up to its successful 2016 slot game.

Based on a Danish franchise, owned by Hugo Games, the five-reel, ten payline slot will offer players big wins as they join the troll Hugo on the hunt for sought-after treasure, while evading the Evil Witch Afskylia.

The unique Skull Cavern bonus game will appear when three Evil Witch symbols occur simultaneously, with players having to select the right key to progress to the final treasure. On winning, the multiplier will depend on the number of lives the player has remaining.

Hugo’s symbol acts as a wild, the Evil Witch joins the grid as a scatter symbol, and the Beaver will be able to trigger the Troll Race free spin feature when three of its scatter symbols appear.

Play’n Go’s newest release builds upon the vibrant graphics of its predecessor as well as offering improved mechanics and seamless omni-channel gameplay.

Play’n Go chief executive officer Johan Törnqvist said: “The Hugo franchise and Play’n Go’s original slot have given fans and casino players plenty of joy over the years, and so we’re delighted to return to the troll’s adventures and deliver Hugo 2 to them.

“With enjoyable new features, detailed graphics and prolonged gameplay potential, this title is another strong addition to our games portfolio and we expect it to be even more successful than its predecessor.”

Hugo 2 follows the release of various new titles in recent weeks, including the Asian-inspired Fu Er Dai and Big Win Cat, and Play’n Go are set to release more games before 2018.
