Marc Ecko’s Getting Up 2
Marc Ecko’s Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure released for PlayStation 2, Xbox, and PC in 2006. It was a third-person action game following the exploits of Trane, voiced by hip-hop artist Talib Kweli, to become a legendary graffiti artist and fight back against rival gangs and the gentrification of New Radius. The game received middling reviews for unwieldy controls and lack of polish, but the concept was praised which could be further explored with a sequel.
Atari, the game’s publisher, has since merged with Enter The Matrix publisher Infogrames Entertainment, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2013, and is currently developing a Linux-based Atari console with classic and new games. The rights of Marc Ecko’s Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure were bought by Devolver Digital in 2013, and re-released for PC.
The only proof of a sequel is this tweet reply by urban fashion brand Ecko Unlimited, which licensed itself for the original game, in February 2013. There has been no information of gameplay, images, or a developer for the game. Simply that it is “currently in the works” and that a release date could possibly exist.
