Cubemen 2 is coming to the Wii U, and in what is reportedly a world first for any indie game on a Nintendo platform, the game will feature cross platform multiplayer, allowing Wii U players to play against others on PC, Linux, Mac and iOS.

Cubemen 2 is developed by Melbourne studio 3 Sprokets, and published by Sydney-based Nnooo, and is due to launch as a downloable title on the Wii U in "late 2013/early 2014".

Cubemen 2 is a fast-paced 3D strategy game in which the player controls an army of Cubemen, using them to battle against enemies in a range of modes. Players will be able to enter online matches and create and share user-generated levels regardless of which platform they are using. Players on the Wii U version will be able to battle against other players who own the game on Wii U, PC, Linux®, Mac® or iOS device.

"I'm really proud to be able to announce this," said Nic Watt, Creative Director at Nnooo. "We've spent the last few months working with both Nintendo and 3 Sprockets, the game's developer, to make this a reality. Cubemen 2 is an amazing game and a great fit for Nintendo players. We can't wait to see how creative they are, whether in tactical multiplayer online or in the new levels they build."

Cubeman 2 was released earlier this year on Steam, the iOS app store, and the Mac app store. More details can be found over on the official website. Check out the trailer for the upcoming Wii U version below.
