Ever since I was a kid growing up in Ogden Utah back in the early 80's, I've been fascinated by the Spanish bullfight. I even searched out books on bullfighting at the Weber County library, where I found and read "Death in the Afternoon" by Ernest Hemingway. I'm probably the only kid in Utah to have ever read that book. Now here we are 40 years later and I still enjoy learning about and keeping up with the bullfights.

"Toro 2" video game available next week!

Who says miracles don't happen anymore? 

Last night I was scrolling endlessly on Instagram when a video pops up about a new video game called Toro 2. 

I almost fell out of my chair! I began to shout with joy!

A follow up to the original Toro video game is coming out next week and I had no idea. I never saw any articles or anything hinting to the fact that a follow game was in the works. 

Long story short, basically 10 years ago there was a bullfight video game called Toro. I tried ordering the game but something happened and the link I was sent never worked, or the email got lost, something like that. Too much time has passed and I can't remember what the exact situation was. But anyhow, I never got to play the game, was sad for awhile, and then moved on with my life. 

(here is a link to my post about the Toro video game)

Fast forward 10 years and here we are with another chance to become bullfighters ourselves, at least in the digital world.

Here is an article I found as well.

Controversial PlayStation 4 Game Announces PS5 Sequel & Release Date

A controversial PlayStation 4 game is returning with a PS5 sequel, which now has an official release date. A brand new trailer showcases what fans can expect from the second installment.

Toro 2, a follow-up to 2015’s original Toro game, is set to release on September 9, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and PS4 alongside Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch.

Developed by RecoTechnology, Toro 2 is an arcade title in which players can challenge bulls in iconic arenas as they attempt to become champions. 

The official Toro 2 trailer showcases a packed arena where a bull charges toward a bullfighter at full speed.

“Become a bullfighting star,” reads the video description before teasing the various arena locations where players will get to challenge the bulls. The venues include Pamplona, Madrid, Nimes, Seville, and Mexico.

The trailer also confirms a brand new multiplayer mode while unveiling a brief gameplay clip as well from the upcoming sequel.

“Be a bullfighter, be a bull”, reads another description while confirming a Versus mode in which players can choose to be either a bullfighter or a bull and then compete against their friends.

The third-person 3D bullfighting simulator will also feature a Career mode where players can start their journey to become a legendary bullfighter. They can work their way to stardom in some of the world’s most prestigious bullfighting arenas.

Toro 2 is coming a decade after its predecessor, which was a popular game, especially among PC players. It managed to earn 73% positive reviews on the Steam platform.

However, the game did attract some flak as well, if not much, for simulating traditional bullfighting. Some critics argued that it glorified animal cruelty for entertainment.

RecoTechnology’s Toro 2 arrives on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch on September 9, 2026.

So yeah, I will be ordering the game for sure. I think I will try it on Nintendo Switch to start out, that seems to be the easiest. I don't have a Switch but I think you can buy used ones for pretty cheap at video game stores. If not I will just buy a new one, nothing will stand in my way this time!
